This June, Spudnik Press Cooperative turned 7. Those of us who have been around since the beginning find it hard to believe how far we have come and how much we have grown. Our mission, our values, and core programming, and even our prices have remained consistent. However, our studio has 10x the space we started with in our original work/live studio. We’ve added a Residency Program, Youth Programming, Exhibitions, Fellowships, and in 2013 alone, we served 2864 people through these programs.
As we grow and deepen our programs, we also need to grown and deepen the support we receive from the community. We are incredibly proud to announce that this year we have received support through both a CityArts Program Grant and the Arts Work Fund. We also hosted our 7th Annual Benefit that raised over $7000 towards our $10,000 end-of-year goal.
Between now and December 31, we hope to raise the final $2,600. In the coming weeks, we’ll be announcing more ways that people can contribute to this goal and more gifts that we’ll share with those that do. To begin with, anyone who contributes a minimum of $25 will enter a raffle with many great prizes, including an invitation to a Symposium Dinner host by The Perch and a suite of posters donated by Chicago Design Museum.
