This pilot event will serve as a blueprint for future events dedicated to empowering artists, enriching the community, and catalyzing the Guaranteed Income Movement. <blockquote>The Vision for FREEFORM!</blockquote><blockquote>Emergent Creativity: breakdown of both conscious and subconscious barriers, opening the gateway to unconditional creativity. The mind is no longer concerned with whether something is ‘cool.’ or commercially ‘acceptable.’</blockquote><blockquote>Instinctual Collaboration: creation from a pure source emerges and is shared between artists and the public. The public gains insight into the artistic process while assuming the role of artist alongside the creation itself.</blockquote><blockquote>Spread awareness about the Guaranteed Income movement: As this project is conceived and carried out by CRNY GI artists, the public is also invited to engage in discussions about the positive impact of Guaranteed Income .</blockquote> Learn more about Guaranteed IncomeGuaranteed income programs build safety nets to ensure that no individual falls below a defined income floor over time. They enable people to weather crises and plan for the future. <a href="https://www.creativesrebuildny.org/apply/guaranteed-income/" title="https://www.creativesrebuildny.org/apply/guaranteed-income/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">CRNY’s Guaranteed Income for Artists program</a> took inspiration from economic and racial justice movements of the past, government actors, reparations-focused philanthropists, and recent pilots and programs across the world.Many Guaranteed Income pilots have demonstrated the efficacy of regular cash payments to improve individuals’ well-being and financial stability. Building on this body of evidence, our program’s goal is to help artists meet their basic needs outside of traditional or merit-based grantmaking.Please add your name to the <a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/basicincomeletter" title="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/basicincomeletter" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">I Support Basic Income Open Letter</a> to congress and share the letter with your friends and family.
