Seeking Sponsorship

Dear Friends of the world...

I am seeking help to put on a majour Photographic exhibition here in Melbourne where Iive.

I am on a blind pension and funds are very limited for me. I have been looking at getting grants so I can hold a photographic exhibition. As I stand alone funding is not the best for me as I do not belong to any organisation, therefore gaining funds is very hard.

I thought long and hard over this, when a friend said to give it a try on my blog.

If you have been folowing my progress through my web gallery ( www.webgallery.com.au/afollows ) you will see that I have come along way in my photography. My exhibitions have been very successful and I have been very proud to show my work to the community and to the art world.

With the help of Eamon my guide dog I am working on a new exhibiton for later on this year. I am looking at 2 options for this. Bridges of Melbourne. Photographs of popular bridges around Melbourne where people know them but don't taken any notice of it's beauty. This will also form a 2011 calandar as well.

My second option is Clouds. This is one where i am very strongly for. It is amazing what you see in the sky, at dawn, dusk, storms and even the tones of a blue sky. These imagies will be on Large canvas as well as paper


One of my other dreams I have is to share my Art internationally. To have an exhibition in London or New York would realy challange the visual arts. This would be a majour project but I am sure with the right timing, there would be someone out there to see this dream come true.

But one step at a time for now.

I am looking at holding this exhibition in November this year in a major Gallery in the Inner City of Melbourne.

As you know through past blos entries I am being filmed for a documentary about myself and my art and being a blind man in todays world. This will be sold Nationally and Internationally.

I am learning so much as I know grants are hard to get but I also know sponsorships is even harder...

If you would like more information on myself and my projects please email me and I will give as much information and answer all your questions.

Any sponsorships will be acknowleged in all media releases regarding my exhibitions.


I do know that this is a big ask so I hope there is an organisation, corprate or an indervidual that would like to help...

My email is

Thank you to you all for taking the time to read this request for help and it's all good if nothing happens... I will keep you all posted on all outcomes.
Warmest ..Andrew.
