The Leonardo.

I know that in the present political and financial climate, it’s very difficult for artists to maintain (let alone find) work that adequately compensates them for their labour.

If you are requiring of short-term funding on a micro level, or more long-term sustained giving to help finance your work, I run a free service that matches you with the right Patron to help support your craft.

I have a network of thousands of potential patrons/donors to your projects who have demonstrated a genuinely positive, progressive charitable intent in their actions, on a long-term basis who will be politically aligned with your goals.

Fill out the form below, or email me at rahim@viciousminuteshour.com. Tell me everything you can about what you’re working on, and what you need the funds for, be it teaching smaller workshops or staging longer work. Tell me the details of what you want and don’t want mentioned in your messaging.

I will contact individuals in my database who I believe will be strong candidates to support your work, and make the introduction.

These will not be general inquiries through email, but person-to-person contact.

Once they’ve provided their consent for you to contact them to discuss potentially funding your work, I’ll send you all the details of our correspondence & the rest is left up to you. It’s also possible they’ll decide to support your work without a conversation between the two of you so please make sure you have a method for accepting funds.

You don’t pay, I don’t accept funds on your behalf, so no money is directed towards me, only you.

Consider it a service that doesn’t expect a favour in return. In the present world, now more than ever, we need to look after each other & this is a good way for me, to help.
