Element 11

Annual Arts Festival - We held our main art event Wednesday, June 21st through Sunday, June 25th, 2023. This is our main event where the artists we give art grants to, come to showcase their completed projects to the community (volunteers including artists and regular participants) which are our donors. This event represents most of our spending with art grants and operational expenses to provide space (private land) and logistics for a 5 day event (donations via ticket sales). Some examples of these operational expenses are porta potties and hand washing stations, permits with county, health department, sheriff's office, and our own private security and medical teams.

Burner Day In The Park (BDITP) - An annual community event/fundraiser to drum up excitement before the main art event, showcase art grant project ideas and hold a raffle for a pair of tickets/items donated by the community, and votes for favorite art grant project ideas. These funds are donated back to the artists who showcased their projects based on votes they received from the raffle.

Decompression - An annual art event that is held after the main art event, same idea but on a much smaller scale, however it's run by our community. We sponsor this event, and the agreement for 2023 was that E11 would grant $15,000 dollars with an anticipated $10,000 return from their ticket sales, which was achieved. It's basically another $5,000 art grant to the community but we keep it separate since we don't run the event and are not responsible for it.
