WHY DO WE RAISE MONEY?

First stage (Communication tools) - Objective 3500 Euros

Communication tools are the key elements of our success. Now we want to take a step forward so that we can create and share art using the latest technology. By participating in our initiative you will help us to become more agile and mobile. We need to update our computer equipment with professional editing and postproduction programs. We also want to record images in 360 degrees and broadcast live cultural events. With your support of 3500 Euros we can achieve all of this and guarantee to cover the costs of our platform, content production and payment gateways, management, taxes, etc.

Second stage (Cooperative) - Target 7500 Euros

If we reach the second stage, we want to organize ourselves better and create a new cooperative of independent artists in Barcelona.

Why a cooperative and not a NGO?

During the last month we have investigated the possibility to launch our own association or company. In the end we decided that a cooperative is the option that best fits our project, which is charitable in its nature. A cooperative helps us achieve our goals: to promote the work of our artists and the culture of our home city of Barcelona.

A cooperative is the ideal formula in the audiovisual sector, new technologies and online commerce of art. It is also aligned with our interests and values of mutual aid, responsibility, democracy, equality, equity and solidarity. We believe in the ethical values of honesty, transparency, social responsibility and concern for others. In addition, a cooperative facilitates the most flexible distribution of benefits in accordance to the work contributed.
