DanG ARTS: Where arts and community flourish.
Help DanG ARTS open an artistic oasis for artists to showcase their work and the community to experience accessible creative workshops.
Project Description
What is the mission of your company or project?
DanG ARTS mission is to inspire, support and bring together artists and the community. DanG ARTS strives to engage, build individuality, and inspire creativity by expanding the availability of self-expression through the arts.
What is the problem DanG ARTS is solving?
Arts are notoriously underfunded, under-appreciated, and inaccessible.
Artists are at a loss with art galleries taking a large commission. Theatre groups often spend 80% of their profits on renting a performance space. These issues create a gap between the community and the arts. Since artists cannot make a living wage for their work, it is not available to the community to enjoy.
What is the market size and opportunity for growth?
DanG ARTS in unparalleled in its mission and structure. We look to serve all communities as art should be accessible to everyone. The potential for growth is endless.
What is DanG ARTS about and how does it solve the problem?
DanG ARTS is an arts gallery and performance space. We will offer the community the opportunity to partake in art instruction taught by the exhibiting artists at an affordable rate.
Why are you seeking funding and how will you spend the funding?
The funds gifted to DanG ARTS will be used for the initial operating costs such as rent, renovation and hiring local employees. DanG will open in spring 2023.
Who is on your team?
Me. Dominique Wilkinson 😊 and the local non profit WCEC that has been providing guidance throughout the business building process.
