SPARKBOOM project - Twelve of the “founding partners” committed
their own funds to make SPARKBOOM happen, and the New York State
Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the
New York State Legislature awarded a very nice grant to enhance the
SPARKBOOM project.

Here is the latest batch of folks trying to get artists of all kinds
to communicate - If anyone is interested in yet another batch -

Long Island Fringe Festival launched in 2009 trying to do this VERY
THING - We do it with NO BUDGET - NO FUNDING & very little support
from any of the major ARTS organizations - We were doing it for the
CREATIVE community of Long Island with very little response from it
overall - We love it all anyway ❤

We aren't sure if we want to go through all that work for such little
response again. But, we are willing if the PUBLIC shows us they are
interested. Because, it isn't the creative people that need to drive
this - - - - - - We NEED an audience. Most of love the work we do &
most of us already support one another. That doesn't translate into
ticket sales & the idea of going through all this effort for "the
work" has long past it's expiration date.

Keep your eye out for any dates of any of these events - SPARKBOOM ?
Who knows maybe something will click this time - Cheers

As always, please contact us if you need to communicate - Thanks, TAG
