Письмо Анастасии и Яны сообществу & crowd funding for ART!
Шикарная книга Анастасии Волховской с редкими иллюстрациями Яны Фефеловой вот-вот выйдет в свет. Заплатив вперед, вы, во-первых, очень поможете проекту, во-вторых, получите свой вариант книги.
Кроме того, crowd funding как способ участвовать в создании арт-проектов - это модно :)
Вспомните, с каким удовольствием вы читали первую публикацию "Писем к Элизе" в журнале импровизации "I"...

Дорогие друзья, с миру по нитке... мы обращаемся с просьбой ко всем, кто может помочь нашему проекту. Не найдя спонсоров, мы все равно должны осуществить задуманное. Основные наши затраты это перевозка картин и печать книг, и менно для этого мы обратились в одну из компаний по crowdfunding, где каждый может попросить помощи у готовых ее оказать. Сотни самых разных проектов нашли там финансирование. Нет минимального взноса, даже доллар нам поможет. А если нет доллара, то, как и раньше, дельный совет))) Расскажите о нас друзьям! На сайте информация только на английском, если нужна помощь в переводе, пишите в личку.
Спасибо. С любовью. Настя и Яна.
Dear Friends
As you know Yana Fefelova and me have been working hard to make our art project "Letters to Eliza" happen. We are thankful to everyone who is helping. You are all amazing. However, unable to find sponsors we ask for your help. This is the final stage and we need to pay for the transportation of the paintings and publishing costs. Every euro will make a difference for us. Our birthdays are coming and instead of presents or postcards we ask to help our project. Here is a link to our project on a crowd-funding website that already helped so many amazing people. Help, spread a word, art should happen.
Many thanks,
Anastasia Volkhovskaya
Our Story
The art project "Letters to Eliza" is an illustrated book that was born out of love for words and art. We are a team of two - a writer Anastasia Volkhovskaya and a painter Yana Fefelova. Touching on topics of self-discovery and self-acceptance the book tells a story of a young woman, Eliza, who receives letters from an unknown author. These are not love-letters but they are full of love.With their help she will be able to make a journey of her lifetime - to herself.
The exhibitions of illustrations to "Letters to Eliza" will be held in LIsbon, Portugal from 14 April to 31 June 2012 and in Moscow, Russia in September 2012. We will open in Livraria Ler Devagar, Lisbon and then go from place to place to reach more different people.
The book "Letters to Eliza" will be published in Russian, Portuguese and English (the Russian and Portuguese versions are ready and available on the website, the English version will be ready soon. The book will go to the printer on 20 February 2012)
The Impact
The idea behind writing the book was to sooth all those looking for answers, to try and tell them that no matter what it will be just fine. It is done by women for women (although it has proven already that the woman world portrayed in the book is interesting for men, too).
The feedback we receive on a daily basis from all those who can follow our project on various social network shows that people find comfort in words and images we have created and this is the best reward.
Besides, the project is international. It unites people from Ukraine, Russia and Portugal who try to make it happen despite the visa restrictions and money shortage because art should be beyond borders.
The campaign will happen because some things in life must be done. It is our mission.
We are asking for your help so that we are able to make the project reach more people.
What We Need & What You Get
We are looking to raise $ 5,000 to pay the expenses for transporting the paintings by DHL from Ukraine (where Yana creates them) to Portugal (where Anastasia lives and where the exhibitions will start) and later on to Russia (as the book is originally written in the Russian language). We also have to pay the printing expenses (we use the services of a small publisher in Portugal Ediçoes Vieira da Silva and have to pay 50% of the printing costs). These are our main expenses. All amazing people who work with us on this project make all the rest happen for us without charge.
For all those who contribute to our project we will send a pdf version of the book which will be ready by 14 April 2012 and in any language out of the tree mentioned above.
Other Ways You Can Help
We appreciate any feedback and advice. We are always available on social networks and like to be in contact with people because we create for people.
We also ask that you spread the word about the project through your social networks and help us turn this project into reality.
