This enable you to set up a funding page, describing what you would like funds for, in which the general public can voluntarily donate to you. The site is linked up to your bank account and after a period of time, any money donated will be transferred to your account.
We can share the web page link to our social media sites like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter so that friends, family and friends of friends can see the page and so we have a wider audience of people who will possibly donate. I feel with the help of friends and family we will be able to get the funds that we need to hire a gallery of our choice.
The go fund me that we have set up:
This is the description we added:
"""We are students at New College Nottingham. We are currently studying for our final year of our photography degree. As we are in our final year, we have been given the opportunity to write our own project briefs to fit around our own ideas. This has given us the chance to go ahead with a project we have been wanting to do for a long time which is to create two series of images that are based around the subject of mental health. This is something we both feel strongly about and we feel that we can create images that make people understand the feelings and emotions of ‘invisible’ illnesses. Illness that many do not understand.
Idea 1 (Alison Mckeith) - The subject areas surrounding mental health hit close to home for me as I have suffered in some areas over the past two years and even now, in many ways I still battle with them every day. I want to use the photographs that I take to only help other to understand these, but also because I think that art is a great way to escape from the feelings inside your own head. My images will be based on Disney characters as I think that this will help gain views from the younger generation who I feel suffer in silence as they don’t really understand the thoughts and feelings they may have.
Idea 2 (Shannon Jaques) - My aim is to give people a better understanding of the thoughts and feelings surrounding Depression and Anxiety. I would like to be able to give a clear visual understanding of the everyday struggles that are faced with these illnesses.
Both of our images will be taken in black and white. The majority being taken with film cameras.
The money from this fund will be used to cover the cost of the venue hire as this will be between £300 and £400. Alongside this we will be purchasing materials like chemicals, equipment, photo paper and film as well as paying for printing. The money will also be used for any travel expenses as we aim to put on smaller exhibitions with charities at support groups and rehabilitation centres.
We will also be looking to sell our prints after the exhibition to donate to supporting charities. Any small contribution will help us on our way with this project.
Thank you.
