SITE Santa Fe SPREAD Grant FINALIST!!!!!!

SWEET!

Cedra Wood and myself co-applied for a grant (generally about $7500) through SITE Santa Fe.  SPREAD is a sliding-scale fee dinner party in which the finalists (six this session) get to pitch their big IDEA to the crowd and they vote on it, whoever wins the most votes gets a box of cash at the end of the night.

Cedra and I are both going on The Arctic Circle residency on an ice-breaking Barquentine departing Svalbard Norway this autumn.  We seek funding for the program, travel, materials, and ice gear!
