Donations and Upcoming Events


Website
I am thrilled to say that Bravery Project just received it's first donation. We are on our way to helping others provide services to people and animals in need. It's a very good feeling to know that a year's worth of planning is coming together.

A few things have been added to the Bravery Project website that you should know about. There is a share button so that you can link the webpage inside your emails and send them to people. You will find them on the home page, the gallery opening page and the new guest book.

Now you can share your thoughts right on the website by signing and commenting in the guestbook. It's a nice interactive one. I think it even has a bleep feature that dots out curse words. I am a big on collaboration, so I welcome feedback and suggestions.

There will be more interactive features added as I continue to build the site when I have time.

Events

On the front page are events where the Bravery portraits and stories will be displayed. You may be familiar by now with the online gallery, which shows all portraits and stories, including an artists note. Keep checking because I am still adding new portraits to it as the stories are coming in.

Invitations will be going out for an Art Salon next month. This is a special for Bravery because this is the only scheduled event in which ALL the Bravery portraits and stories will be displayed in one place. Additionally, I am teaming up with two other professional artists to raise money for charity. This all takes place over three days in a multimillion dollar home with some live music, a live art painting performance, and lots of food. If I don't have your email and you don't get an invitation from me, please download the flyer on the website and visit the salon page.

The other event next month takes place at Cup O Karma and is very exciting because one of my beneficiaries has taken the opportunity to use the portraits for a mini show and benefit for them. It's a great way to help an organization with the portraits. Since this promotion takes place at a coffee shop, Bravery merchandise has been included in this month-long promotion to help promote Bravery and allow people to support the organization through a small purchase rather than a large pledge they can't afford. Again, if I have your email, I can send out invitations to you; otherwise, you can see the flyer for the event on the website.

If you come, please say hello!
