May Arts Marathon Participant: Rosi Olivan
Mission: Artistic Explorations with Homegrown Indigo
Message: While I’m still a shy artist, I want to challenge myself to contribute to the May Arts Marathon for CASP SVT, a great cause.
In the past years, I have been growing indigo plants to extract the blue pigment this magical plant provides. I’ll use this pigment to experiment with different techniques such as ink, simple monoprints, and creating watercolor paint to produce simple, minimalist, paint-it-yourself (PIY) watercolor postcards.
Indigo has helped me tremendously navigate challenging times, so I want to expand Indigo’s uniqueness and generosity in this fundraising.
Please join me in this exploration to lend a hand to CASP.
The May Arts Marathon is CASP’s key fundraiser. CASP hopes to raise $50,000 this year. With all the uncertainty around the new administration, one thing we know for sure is that people who are experiencing violence and terror in their home countries will continue to seek asylum in this country. Sponsors like you are key to CASP being able to support its mission of cultivating a supportive community for asylum seekers in Southern Vermont, while fulfilling basic needs and accompanying them on their journey towards building a better life in this country.
The May Arts Marathon is a community effort. Artists support their vision for a just world by sending copies of their creative work to sponsors like you 5 days a week for the month of May. Sponsors donate to support this work. Together we support asylum seekers who, in turn, enrich our community with their determination, energy, and diverse experiences.
