Hey TuckUnder friends,

I began curating TuckUnder Projects in 2011 and have been very fortunate to receive past Community Arts grant funding from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, minor individual and corporate donations, and a trickle of cash in our donation jar. Within our successful past 2015 season we were very lucky to receive an MRAC Management Consulting Fund grant. This small grant allowed us to work closely with our Tablefort consultant to diagnose how to raise TuckUnder to the next level of organizational structure and artistic programming.

In their recent report, Tablefort cited many positive quantitative and qualitative socio-cultural aspects of the TuckUnder ecosystem that sets it clearly above and apart from many other larger art venues. Our audience has cited TuckUnders unique venue, curatorial prowess, experimental capacity and welcoming atmosphere. We have also just finished a major physical access redo of our main stairway to TuckUnder. The cost of this access reworking is of significant financial cost.  Here is a little Vimeo video of the new steps on a typical November day. Needless to say, we need your generosity in moving forward.

There are multiple reasons for supporting alternative fiduciary-based projects like TuckUnder Projects. Since 2011, TuckUnder has exhibited over 80 artists within more than 50 shows in just four years. Through their promotion at TuckUnder many of the artists have gone on to become visible movers and shakers in the contemporary art scene. Thanks to our amazing fiscal sponsorship through Springboard for the Arts, all donations are tax deductible.

As TuckUnder serves a valuable career exhibition and curatorial niche, please consider supporting TuckUnder Projects on Give To the Max Day and your end of year tax contributions. No gift is too small! This is what your generous contributions may support:

$35 Woody = Internet costs per month. $50 Water Pump = Three 30-Packs of beer for one opening. $75 Three Butterflies = Annual fiduciary fee. $100 Leaky Sink = Single night performance stipend. $150 Raspberry Patch = Artist’s exhibition materials. $200 Scenic Overlook = Minor utility bills for month. $250 TuckUnder Gallery = Leaky Sink plumbing needs. $300 Viewer Participant = Artistic stipend for solo show. $500 Project Startup = Raspberry Patch artist stipend. $1000 Curator = Garage door repair. $2500 Institutional Critique = Short Curator trip to Armory week. $5000 Liminal Concept = Single Artistic Season base. $7500 Flaneur = Cement Steps redone. $10000 Gallery Intervention = Adverts, print & marketing per year. $15000 Creative Process = Art Basel Miami Beach art fair fees.

Alternatively, you can also send a check written out to Springboard for the Arts, with TuckUnder Projects written in the memo line.

Thank you for supporting TuckUnder Projects. With appreciation,

Pete Driessen
