Dear Aimee,
We have been reading the press. Great Huffington piece. Congrats.
If you find a sponsor who commits $100,000 to the museum, they will receive acknowledgement and attention the way you have, only more so. That alone could be worth it for the sponsor, but there are more benefits. The details:
MONA seeks a benefactor to launch the Museum into its second phase, which is a community of artists selling non-visible artworks through the museum. It will also continue to tour Europe and the U.S.
Besides the exhibitions, there is an educational initiative. MONA will produce workshops for all ages to teach people how to make their own non-visible works and exhibit them, igniting the imagination in all of us and spreading the message of the museum as a catalyst for the imagination.
For $100,000, the benefactor is the only one listed on the MONA website as a lead benefactor. They will also get an entire non-visible museum designed and named in their honor and namesake. They will be part of the parties in the fall and will be an honorary board member of the museum.
Let us know your thoughts!
Best,
Praxis
I think I agree to the terms I discussed with them and that I will try to find the museum a sponsor for Job 100! I believe sponsorship is the new marketing on social media.
Who should I target?* Pom? Pepsi? Summer's Eve? McDonalds? Kanye?
JAMES FRANCO?!?!?!?!?!
Aimee (lol)

This is incredible. Well done! Can't wait to see how things develop!
ReplyDeleteYou're so cool. Like, seriously. So. Damn. Cool.
ReplyDeleteI think the HuffPo piece was your moment, Aimee, but good luck anyway.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous I've had other moments and will have more moments, so long as I keep persisting at my work. I've made headlines before the Franco purchase for my own projects and will do so again. :D
ReplyDeleteIs the museum a nonprofit? Can the $100k be incremental? Perhaps ten videos each sponsored at $10k would provide your own foundation the funding to do this?
ReplyDelete@Todd The museum is not a nonprofit. Ideally, the $100k would come from one sponsor, like Pom Wonderful's Sponsorship of Morgan Spurlock's newest film.
ReplyDelete@Todd CORRECTION: The museum can and will issue a tax receipt as a nonprofit!
