Become an arts patron! Support Jeanette May Photography.
My fiscal sponsor, Fractured Atlas, is celebrating the 20-year anniversary of their fiscal sponsorship program by distributing $1,000 to 20 different projects. Every donation that you give toward my sponsored project is one chance that I have to receive this $1,000, so I’m asking for your support! From May 2 - May 8 (you can still make donations after these dates) a donation of any amount not only helps support my work, it also gives me a chance to receive an additional significant amount of financial support.
As you may know, artist studio space in New York City is necessary and expensive. Printing, mounting, and framing a large photograph also costs hundreds of dollars. Of course, I prefer earning my income through the sale of my artwork. Please contact me if you would like to discuss purchasing a photograph. If your walls are full and you would still like to help, you may donate to my fiscally sponsored project, Jeanette May Photography, by clicking this link: https://fundraising.fracturedatlas.org/jeanette-may-photography
