<strong>WHO ARE WE? THE PROJECT AT ITS ORIGIN</strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong>CULTUREINSIDE</strong><strong>.</strong> is an online social network in the art and culture field. It is a community-based website for emerging artists, photographers, mid-career artists, students and in general members of the art & culture world. Being a member on our site and making use of its social tools is free of pay.The site is multilingual in order to give a good communication base to all of its members. World-wide more than <strong>3500 artists</strong> have connected and linked themselves from over 95 countries. And the network is permanently growing.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Our non-profit organization CI / C-EYE handles the network, looks for exhibition spaces and organizes collective exhibitions. We have been self-financing ourselves for 5 years thanks to the CI / C-EYE team and the help of convinced volunteers. It tackles the mission of <strong>giving maximum visibility to our artists - on the web but also in real life. </strong>That is was us the artists seek - a double formula fits for our needs. That is my dream as both an artist and founder since 5 years. And now it's the exciting moment to realize <strong>our BRICK & MORTAR project- </strong> the common art space & atelier for our network - for you! It will be at our disposal from August 2014 on.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
In 2009 our online project obtained the European Year label for creativity and innovation. Our first exhibition took place in Luxembourg, but for our second show "URBAN LEGENDS"we already went for New York City... In this exhibition URBAN LEGENDS - an international group exhibition we presented the original artworks in a studio @ Westbeth / West Village and tacked on printed posters of these works in the streets of Manhattan ! </p>

<p>
We never lose sight that the art is done by the artist and nowhere else - this leads us to organize this atelier space for which we need partly financial support. We finance by ourselves 5000 Euros but we need still the amount of 4800 in order to properly set up the atelier inside. </p>

<strong>BRICK & MORTAR - A NEW STUDIO - FROM VIRTUAL TO REALITY </strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
This large demanding project is realized by a small team of artists and web-expert volunteers which gives it all for the success of this project. We have now found an adequate workshop space where our members will be able to settle for their work, to meet, to be creative together, have exchange and to create synergies ! We plan on exhibiting art works of the community genre "wild galleries" and create artistic residences in Luxembourg for non-local artists.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
To properly succeed with this project we still require a total amount of 4800 Euros to shift the found space into a studio, handle repairs, installations... Our own financial input amounts to 5000 euros, which we need an additional of.</p>
<p>

<p>
this will beome our kitchen ... you need only a bit of imaginaiton ?! but a lot of work - a success with the crowdfunding and we could realize all this.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Why fund it ?</strong></p>
<p>
<strong>Summary in words :</strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
As to see on the pictures the atelier, rented from August on, for our member network artists needs urgently a proper set-up for our labs and exhibits. The collected money will contribute to realize this.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
With your support you will sponsor </p>
<p>
- to free high artistic energy and creativity, and co-create space for common creativity,</p>
<p>
- to stimulate and encourage dialog at large</p>
<p>
- and exchange and through our residencies : to give visibility to young talents to connect artists from over the world.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
AND you will become part of an exciting project.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Any additional amount achieved on top of our demands would also permit us to add more features e.g. a shower and some fuel oil for the winter and perhaps some technical equipment (like a shared PC, screen and video) and to have a big Wild Gallery Kick Off Show !</strong></p>
<p>

<strong>More detailed description:</strong></p>

</p>
<p>
The fundraising on Kiss Kiss Bank Bank will allow us to carry out necessary repairs and installations in this shared atelier and workshop space. The atelier is a huge open space (like a depot) and we need to create 2-3 divisions in order to establish different areas e.g. for sculpturing and painting as well as photography (dust protection). We must carry out some repairs and install certain facilities required for a joint studio space for our artists.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
In particular, we require a better lighting system, we're missing a door, we need to replace the broken glass of a large window, a toilet needs to be brought back to life (best replaced) and especially the windows need insulation. We also need to deposit a guarantee, pay for insurance and rent. The majority i.e. 5000 Euros of that cost is financed by its founders and our members. But we need your support for the remaining costs of 4800 Euros. We want to establish a work environment in which our artists can be creative and effective.</p>
