The waiting game is a funny thing. After the mania of balancing spreadsheets, costing artist fees, rent, paint & insurance fees, things have been really really quiet.

The JB Seed people seemed genuinely happy with our application getting us onto the shortlist… but since then it’s been eerily quiet, and I’ve been getting a little fidgety.

 

 

 

So today I sent them a little email just asking when we’d be likely to hear back, and their response was quite awesome!

“We’ve decided to grant you money for ST5K. Congratulations! We really like the project and can’t wait to see how it turns out!!”

What does this mean? Well it means that instead of running the entire festival on $300 as we did last year, we’ll have a couple of thousand dollars to put towards advertising, inviting some awesome artists to get involved, paying for council permits to paint murals and cover a huge amount of paint!

Its pretty exciting, but a little daunting too.

THANK YOU JB SEED!

I think we might need some extra help to pull this thing off.

Anyone interested?

Si.
