From our base in Leicester, UK, we have been producing exhibitions and events, such as the recent Sue Gollifer show at Phoenix, Leicester.</div><div><br></div><div>We have had some funding (HLF and Paul Mellon), but much of our work is self-supported. We're now exploring alternative fundraising routes - starting with our first crowdfunding campaign on Space Hive.</div><div><br></div><div>We're looking for individual support for our latest "Leicester Computer Artists" exhibition and catalogue. This builds on a previous project in which we documented the work of eight significant artists with a connection to Leicester. The project is being noticed, and the Leicester City Mayor has agreed to match any contributions made, up to £1000.</div><div><br></div><div>Please consider supporting the project, individually or through your business. Also, please spread the word. We only have two weeks to run the campaign! If it works, we hope that this will become a model for funding some of our future work, in Leicester and beyond.</div><div><br></div><div>See a link to the crowdfunder, plus other recent projects here:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.computer-arts-archive.com/" target="_blank">https://www.computer-arts-archive.com</a></div><div><br></div><div>See the previous exhibition of Leicester digital artists here on the Computer Arts Society website:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://computer-arts-society.com/exhibitions/leicester-pioneers.html" target="_blank">https://computer-arts-society.com/exhibitions/leicester-pioneers.html</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>Please spread the word.</div><div><br></div><div>I will be announcing the artists featured in the new exhibition soon.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Sean</div><div><br></div><div>P.S.
