In collaboration with Kickstarter UK, SAN launched a project that helped mentor 10 social practice artists in the UK as they prepared to present projects in autumn of 2019.
‘What better way to help our sector grow and be resilient than to use Kickstarter’s expertise to help drive community-driven projects towards collective and collaborative financial success. This program only begins with these 10 artists as a pilot. We are aiming for long-term strategies that can help artists working in this field be resilient and self-sufficient. To have their efforts supported and to shine.’ – artist and SAN co-founder R.M. Sánchez-Camus
