<h2>About Trans Rescue</h2>
<blockquote>
<p>
We help trans*, intersex, and other people flee places where it is
dangerous to be trans.
</p>
<p>
We help them reach places of safety and reasonable quality of
life.
</p>
<p>We do so legally and securely.</p>

<p>
We are facing a real shortage. We need 400 EUR more than we have
to keep all the balls in the air. For any organization this would
be serious. For us it's a matter of who becomes homeless in a
dangerous country.
</p>
<p>We need help today. Please.</p>

All mediums. Content restrictions may be imposed at Trans Rescues
discretion (will talk to them about this). Physical and digital
are both allowed (digital will be displayed in the exhibit with a
watermark). Art can range from “fine art” to “craft” to “merch” as
long as it is your artistic creation. Let your definition of art
be as expansive as your definition of trans.

<p>
2024-09-01 22:23:54 +00:00
Art must be able to be paid in full up front, and artists should
feel confident in their ability to deliver on what they promise.
If youre comfortable with those boundaries, you may offer a
commission or otherwise buyer-customizable piece of art.
Customization can be something simple that requires a single
text field question (in which case it will be worked into the
platform and the answer provided to you on purchase), or it may
be complex enough to require that you get in touch with the
buyer after purchase.
2024-08-19 23:24:21 +00:00
</p>
<p>
2024-09-01 22:23:54 +00:00
I encourage you to set strict guidelines that allow you to set a
firm price up front that youre confident in; the fundraiser is
not responsible for following through with buyers if you later
feel you need more funds to deliver.

Of course. You may collage, knit a hat from yarn you didn't

<summary>Must it be created for this exhibit?</summary>
<p>
No, but its preferred that it is. If we have so many submissions
such as to make this logistically perilous and I have to impose
submission limits, reused existing work may be cut. However, I
dont currently expect to reach those limits.

We help people escape. Thats something that appeals outside the
trans community. I just got off a call with a guy who had never
met a trans person before. He thought what we were doing was so
cool hes volunteering with us. Freedom, escape, rebirth,
slavery, captivity, ...

<!-- Can I collaborate with another artist? -->
<details>
<summary>Can I collaborate with another artist?</summary>
<p>
Sure, but only one of you is responsible for being the “point”
person for any one piece of art. This is to keep my signup forms
and email lists straightforward.
</p>
<p>
Obviously, credit all artists who participate in creating a piece.
</p>
</details>
<!-- How many works per artist? -->
<details>
<summary>How many works per artist?</summary>
<p>one of:</p>
<ul>
<li>
1 original work (this may mean a single item, or for something
like a print, it may mean a set of similar items) that
<b>can</b> be digitally included on the sticker sheet as well as
sold on its own.
</li>
<li>
1 original work (single item or set of prints etc) that
<b>cannot</b> be included on the sticker sheet <b>plus</b> 1
small digital design for sticker sheet inclusion.
</li>
<li>
1 small digital design for sticker sheet inclusion only.
However, be aware (as you read the next question) that
<b
>I am not able to set artist commission rates on sales of the
sticker sheets, only individual artistic creations</b
>. The sticker sheets will be too collaborative to realistically
apply all artists commissions in a meaningful way.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
I want to expand on the “single item or set” thing - this lets
different types of crafts shine differently and allows us to price
things reasonably and at many price points. It also means not
everything will be one-and-gone!
</p>
</details>
<!-- How is pricing determined? Are artists paid? -->
<details>
<summary>How is pricing determined? Are artists paid?</summary>
<p>For an original work, artists set the following:</p>
<ol>
<li><b>Inventory:</b> number of pieces of the work</li>
<li><b>Base price:</b> starting price of the work</li>
<li>
<b>Commission:</b> % of the base price they would like to take
home, up to 50% inclusive
</li>
<li><b>Shipping:</b> shipping fees broken out by continent</li>
</ol>
<p>
Artists will therefore at a minimum take home (Base price *
Commission + Shipping) * Inventory units sold. This gives them the
ability to ensure they are paid what they consider adequate for
charity work.
</p>
<p>
For any item in the exhibit, a buyer may choose to pay beyond base
price. The artists commission will be applied to this as well.
</p>
<p>Here's why:</p>
<p>
Anyone is able to make a donation to the fundraiser without buying
art. By buying art and paying additional, the buyer credits the
artist as well as the fundraiser, and this should be reflected
financially.
</p>
<p>Lets further elucidate this pricing schema with examples.</p>
<p>
(Also, look, there will technically be little nickel-and-dime
platform fees that chip in to the math here. Im... not doing that
yet, please.)

Alyx creates a painting. Xe decides that xe would like to recoup
materials cost and donate labor. Xe sets xyr inventory at 1,
base price at $100, commission at 15%, and shipping at $20
(there will be regional categories for shipping. its not
relevant here so ignore it).
2024-08-19 23:24:21 +00:00
</p>
<p>
2024-09-01 22:23:54 +00:00
Alyxs painting might be bought for its base price + shipping
($120) in which case xe would get $100 * .15 + $20 = $35. Or
maybe xyr painting is bought for a bit above its base price,
$130 + $20 shipping = $150. In this case, Alyx would get $130 *
.15 + $20 = $39.50.
2024-08-19 23:24:21 +00:00
</p>
2024-09-01 22:23:54 +00:00

Babs creates a series of tooled leather keychains. She cant
afford to donate much. She sets an inventory of 4, a base price
of $20, a commission of 50%, and a shipping price of $10.
2024-08-19 23:24:21 +00:00
</p>
<p>
2024-09-01 22:23:54 +00:00
If all of Babs keychains sell, she will be compensated, at a
minimum, ($20 * .50 + $10) * 4 = $80, half of which covers
shipping and half of which is commission. If some of her
keychains sell for elevated prices — lets say they sell for
$25, $40, $20, and $30 — she will be compensated, forgive my
ad-hoc math notation but hopefully it gets the point across
without being exhaustingly long... sum of ([$25, $40, $20, $30]
* .50 + $10) = $97.50, $40 of which is shipping.

(Also, if any keychains dont sell, Babs retains the keychain
and can resell to anyone she desires.)

Coral creates a phone wallpaper with their digital art skills.
They dont care if they receive anything for this, and they want
their item to be accessible and for everyone. They set their
inventory at 50, their base price at $5, their commission at 0%,
and their shipping at $0 (digital purchase).

Regardless of how many sell, Coral doesnt get anything but
satisfaction of helping. (And exposure, but like, dont work for
exposure kids.)

<details>
<summary>How is fulfillment handled?</summary>
<p>
Individual artists are responsible for their works fulfillment.
After an order, relevant buyer details (address/phone/email, or
just email for digital) will be forwarded to the relevant
artist(s).
</p>
<p>
Yes, this means if you buy items from multiple artists you will
pay multiple shipping fees. Thats just the way its gonna be. I
dont want all of this stuff in my living room.
</p>
<p>
Missing or damaged items will be dealt with case-by-case with best
effort, but this is a fundraiser so do be kind about it. Lets
hope we dont see much of that.
</p>
<p>Returns are not a thing.</p>

Clarity of information. Helps you understand where your moneys

offer.

<p>

3 opening dates allows variable time for artists to prepare.
Artists may choose the opening date that best works for them
with the understanding that a later deadline leaves them less
exhibition time and therefore less chance to sell.
