Dear Wonderful Artists,

Thank you for writing me to be part of our COVID Commissions Artist Roster!

To date we've managed to commission 88 Artists and there are currently 90 people waiting to be commissioned!

I continue to fundraise for this initiative alongside our ongoing "phone play" production The Corona Variations. As soon as I have enough money I will reach out to you, in batches of 10 at a time, until everyone has been commissioned. I thank you in advance for your patience, as this is quite a large ongoing endeavour, and it's just me working on it.

I will reach out to people in the order that you joined the list, except in the rare case where a patron asks for something very specific to be made for them, in which case I will make a specific ask.

That said, it would be very helpful for me to know what medium (or mediums) you might want to work in. Please fill out the brief survey below so I can know what your skills are.

Also, I know $50 is not a lot of money, so I understand if you'd like to be taken off of the list—or if you want to remain on for now and then decide when I reach out down the road. It's okay to say no if/when I do, if the timing isn't ideal for you. (I will give you a week to make your piece.)

FYI: We plan to launch the virtual gallery of work made to date at the beginning of June. I hope it will inspire Patrons to keep giving. We will add to the gallery every time there are new pieces made, as one of my goals is for this to be a showcase for you and your work. I will ask for that information from you once you've been commissioned.

Thank you everyone.

— Stay healthy, positive, and creative!

Julie
