Our Story
thevisualCollective began as a vision, to gather close friends and fellow artists together in a single place and embark on an adventure. Utilizing their diverse skills sets in a variety of media, participants collaborate to create photographs, videos, music, poetry, and all manner of art.
Our major goals are twofold.
1) Adventure!
2) Teaching and learning.
The company has three staff members/co-founders, each with their own unique set of skills and artistic vision.
The Impact
At least once each month, thevisualCollective takes 12 people on an adventure. So far, we have done two big camping trips. First to Death Valley and then to Zion. Each trip was four days of camping, photography, cinematography, camping, hiking, teaching and learning. We have also done a myriad of smaller day-trips to ghost towns in places like Two Guns and Twin Arrows, AZ.
Participants develop their personal style, add to their creative portfolios, meet new people and develop lifelong friendships. The instantly-immersive experience with any visualCollective trip may not be life-changing, but it is certainly enriching and empowering.
If we don't reach our goal of $5,000 whatever funds we have will go towards future trips, developing workshop curriculum, merchandise that will allow us to fund ourselves, and the 12-seater van that we need to make these trips a truly immersive and cohesive experience.
If we exceed our goal, thevisualCollective will donate 20% of funds exceeding $5,000 to non-profits and charities promoting arts education and visual collaboration.
What We Need & What You Get
The vast majority of the $5,000 we need will go towards purchasing, repairing, and maintaining a 12-seater van for the participants and a trailer for all the gear. We will likely purchase the van from Northern Arizona University's surplus department in the neighborhood of $3,500. We expect to spend about $750 on a trailer 6'x10' or so.
The rest of the money will go towards staff uniforms and merchandise that will allow the company to become self-sustaining in a timely fashion.
Our market research and polls with past participants shows that people are very interested in purchasing thevisualCollective shirts, jackets, hoodies, stickers, hats, pins and the like. We will be screen-printing in-house to ensure that our costs are well-managed.
Other Ways You Can Help
