Local Film Maker Showcase!

On March 4th Eventgelical productions in association with Independent Gorilla films will be putting on
IndeGo Spotlight, a monthly showcase for local film makers. Each month will feature a local director showing their work, doing a Q+A with a host and the audience. An excellent opportunity to see what new films are being made in the local area.

The first show will feature Daniel B. Iske the director and producer of the critically acclaimed web series "The Dead Hour"

Who will be discussing his inspirations for his work and approach to the creative process.

Donating Art to Charity- Things to Consider

As most of you know, the EVENTgelical events almost always have a charity element as part of their show, because we believe it is in everyone’s best interest to support non-profit organizations that make our community, and our planet, a better place to live.

However, it is important that artists take their own financial wellbeing into account when considering if they should donate art.  Blogger and Artist Brian Kliewer's has written an article from his perspective on the subject. Click here to view article

Art Blogger Alysen B Stanfield suggests 6 limits, on donating, you should set for yourself as an artist. Click here to view the article

Artists should seek a balance in helping the community and their own financial wellbeing.   We hope you have found these articles helpful in finding that balance.
