Fresh News: FAI Powers Up

Cathy Byrd talks Fresh Initiatives.

This month, we followed our own Five To Thrive advice: We know where we’re going. We’ve set smart goals. We’re asking for what we need. And we’re testing fresh initiatives!

In our third season, we aim to:

1. Launch a new podcast format. Our first experiment will feature a hip-hop curatorial project.

2. Establish FAI as an official independent media partner.

3. Test and produce a set of print publications designed for advanced art school students.

We have to power up for all these projects, and we’re inviting you to help. To co-sponsor the new audio recording and editing gear we need, please click on the SUPPORT FAI button! Our funding goal is exactly $2,625. One hundred $25 donations and we’re there! Here’s a spreadsheet that estimates our cost to Power Up.

Your donations will give a boost to our spring field recordings in ATL, NOLA and ATX. This photo gallery spotlights some of the topics we’ll be exploring!
