May Arts Marathon Participant: Madeline Fan
Mission: Exploration to make spacious visual images, stories, jokes
Message: “To imagine that which is manmade to be unnatural is a misunderstanding.”
“Do not let backward trends or oppression jar your confidence and optimism.”
—The Dao de Jing
Using my talents of observation, humor, synthesis, and artistry, I’d like to use this marathon for exploration to find, make, and reclaim spaces in this noisy landscape. I’d like to keep my expression open to everything I can access. I may craft paintings, drawings, gag cartoons, animations, jokes, photographs, sculpture, short essays.
Thank you for this opportunity to transform my gifts into fundamental support for individuals and families to thrive in our community. Everyone goes through hard stuff, to find a way to provide a little ease along the journey is a privilege.
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.
