Kickstarter campaign to fund Exhibition On Screen 2014

Seventh Art Productions will be launching a KICKSTARTER campaign on June 17th to raise funds for the 2014 series of Exhibition On Screen (and five major exhibitions we have access to). Arts funding being what it is - especially within TV - we feel we have to ask our loyal & lovely audience (i.e: you!) to help us continue providing access to great art for all.

These productions are currently self-funded at the moment which is both a huge risk and sizeable investment and also is not something we cannot maintain at this level as we approach 2014. We thought we'd have more luck with sponsors ("sorry, our budgets are cut") or official funds (sadly we’re not eligible for Arts Council Funding as it’s not strictly visual art, neither do we fit the British Film Institute funding structures as it’s classed as alternative content).

This is why we have decided to launch a Kickstarter campaign; we hope we can encourage audiences that have seen our films to help us make more.

The rewards on offer too are pretty good, ranging from free merchandise right up to exclusive access to exhibitions and a private Q&A. Any size contribution is greatly appreciated and will really help us to reach our initial goal of £25,000.

Please read more on our Kickstarter page to read more or make a pledge
