We got an e-mail from our friend over at AiPD, Tafflyn, letting us know about a call for proposals for The Regional Arts & Culture Council's (RACC) Work for Art program. They are looking for proposals for three short videos detailing their Work for Art program, which allows employees to have a donation automatically deducted from their paycheck to go to RACC. We have jumped on the opportunity to produce something for this great organization and have been spending most of our workday today generating ideas. We have a pretty solid one involving many different facets of the arts community in Portland, focusing on the importance of art in the community culture of a city. Too often the arts are taken for granted, and their importance is not realized until they are close to being shut down. I think this program is a great way for people to make a statement about how important the arts are, without having to deal with the stress/cost of making lump donation. You can find more information on the program here.
We're also calling the companies we sent our marketing packets to a couple weeks ago. It's always important to follow-up on things like this. Often people will receive something, be intrigued by it, then forget about it as more important things come up. Therefor it's always nice to give them a helpful push to get back to that packet they wanted to take a closer look at, but never got around to.
Keep you eyes peeled next week for a brand-spankin' new robot short! It's gonna be a good one!
