Dear starry-eyed art aficionados and kind contributors,

Hope you're doing well. We are the students of 3rd Year Fine Art Department at the Royal Academy of Arts (KABK) in The Hague and we need your support as we somersault into the wondrous world of art!

Be a part of our exhibition's success, support us and donate today!

We have the mighty task of organising and hosting our Spring Show on the 19th of April, 2024 which will involve breathing life into a space that can collectively host all our hopes, dreams and visions. This is an entirely student-led initiative that can be a massive learning curve for us practically, professionally and artistically.
You have the opportunity to support us as we tread our first, curious footsteps from the shelter of KABK into the formidable Dutch world of Art!

Somersault, our exhibition, is a melting pot of ambition as it garners artists who come from different corners of the planet, with greatly varying practices and mentalities, to co-exist in a singular space. From painting to sculpture to installation to performance to whatever you wish to experience - it exists here. At Somersault, a part of the world offers itself up to you and we would appreciate you taking a leap with us.

With your support, we can:

1. Rent a venue for our show.
2. Get additional insight from an external curator.
   3. Have a photographer who can document our works and worlds.
3. Have enough resources to build-up the space according to our vision.
4. Transport our work to the location.
5. Promote our show, so more of you can experience the world we have built together.
6. Make food and drinks to satiate the hunger of our curious visitors.
7. Put our minds at ease and focus on the art that we are here to make!

In addition to this crowdfunding effort, we are also hosting a plethora of fun, fun, fun activities at KABK to raise more funds. Join us at our Christmas Party on the 19th of December and the Festival of Ideas (date and location will be announced on soon)!

We have spent the last three years collecting an understanding of ourselves and the ones around us, and believe that with your support we can curate a show that will be difficult to forget! See you there and thank you for everything :)

Sincerely,
The hopeful students of the Fine Art department
