Supplies Needed

Here are some ways to share material or financial resources with us....

1.
donated digital cameras. Goal: As many as possible, hopefully 4 or 5 Promised: 2 more Given: 2 (Thanks Catie!)(Thanks Courtney and sis!)
2. two foam boards for the base of the city model Goal: 2 Cost: $8 US
3. crayons Already contributed
4. glue Already contributed
5. Pencils Already contributed
6. Colored pencils, packs of 8 or more. It would be helpful if the packs were uniform, as they'll be distributed to the students, but not a huge issue as I could always repack the pencils into bundles. Preferably bought in the U.S., since they are more expensive in Jamaica. Goal: 15 packs or large allotment.
7. Money to print pictures for exhibit Goal: Not even sure yet!!!!
8. Money to print a copy of the book for each student. Right now our best bet is to publish the first batch on Blurb.com Cost: a whole lot, tba depending on how many students are in the program Goal for right now: $200-$300 US
9. Journals for all the students, to be purchased in Jamaica at the rate of roughly to .75 cents US a book. Goal: Depends on the students Estimated cost: approximately $12 US
10. Tri Fold Corrugated Presentation Board, 36" x 48" Goal: at least 2 Cost: $8.95 US EACH!!!! (outrageous, it's too bad these things are so useful when there's no power point)
11. Admittance for all of the students to Jamaica's National Gallery, which is a little under a $1 U.S. and is $50 Jamaican. Transportation to the Art Museum will probably add up to about $100 Jamaica a person, so about $2 U.S. for both ways rounding up. The students live less than 15 minutes away from the art museum, but as of last year none of the students have been. This would be a great experience for them to see other Jamaicans and Caribbean artists expressing themselves through visual art. Estimated Cost: depending on the amount of students about $30 US.
