Another Amazing Kickstarter (Blume "Undiscovered Art" Gallery w/ Specialty Coffee by Bird&Deer —Kickstarter) has been published on http://crowdmonsters.com/new-kickstarters/blume-undiscovered-art-gallery-w-specialty-coffee-by-birddeer-kickstarter/

A NEW KICKSTARTER IS LAUNCHED:

About this project

There are many online avenues for artists to share their creativity & their passions, but in Brighton / Brisbane there aren’t many galleries for everyday people who are yet to have the opportunity to be discovered. 

Blume is about helping undiscovered artists reach people, creatively, emotionally & face to face!

We would like to offer retail & gallery space for all types of Craftsmanship.

Whether it be paintings, sculptures, jewellery, photographs or even food!

We also have a passion to see our creativity come to life in Specialty Coffee. Diverse Art & very well made coffee are essential to our vision. 

We would like to look in to booking Art & Craft tutorials & Art Therapy sessions in the future.

With the funds we will:

Pay for Bond, Lease & Legal expenses.

Pay For Council fees for development, car parks & licences.

Fit out Expenses inclusive of decorating, Lighting, Security, Signage, plumbing, Cleaning, Installations, electricals

Pay for equipment needed : Fridges, Coffee Machinery, Tables & Chairs, Kitchen appliances & Miscellaneous.

Advertising & search efforts for local artists to exhibit!

Risks and challenges

The space we are hoping to create comes with its challenges.

A lot of people put so much time & emotion in to their artwork, in to their business, only to not see it recognised, or to have the avenues to reveal themselves to the world. We see this challenge & hope to create a space that people who are willing to take a creative risk can express themselves to locals & people beyond.

The main challenge will be council’s acceptance of such a venue in Brighton. We can open as an Art Gallery in the space we have found – but we need to funds to allow for more parking in order to expand in to a full fledged Coffee Shop, which we really believe will draw more people.

There are community halls & organisations that are doing great work in the area, but it is definitely something that is wanted in the community, & finding the right place with the right zoning will be difficult, but still achievable if the right actions are taken.

Not everyone is attracted to the idea of a Gallery on its own, so we are using our Coffee skills & locally sourced treats to draw people in from all walks of life.
