‘Hackney in Focus’ Project – Funding Request



To Whom It May Concern,

We are 3rd year Digital Photography students at the London South Bank University and at present we are preparing to curate an exhibition from the
5th till 9th December’07. Our aim is to involve the local community of Hackney in taking photographs of their immediate environment. In order to encourage people to look at their surroundings differently we are promoting photography from digital cameras as well as mobile phones. The collaborative work is a progress between students and community members and will be the body of work displayed. This means that the exhibition will be a growing piece of work using images from both parties.

To date we have received significant support from:

Hackney Empire is an entertainment establishment in the heart of Hackney Central and they are happy to provide us the needed exhibition space at their venue the Marie Lloyd Bar.

London South Bank University has agreed to support our project by providing us with the necessary equipment, as well as some of the funds needed.

PhotoBox is our resource for printing images, courtesy of the company.

Lo-tech is a local graphic design agent and enthusiastically offered us to take on the roll of designing our flyer.

Please find our outstanding funding needs attached. To show our utmost gratitude of your financial support we will be including your name, details and logo in the catalogue and website.

At this point we are of course very pleased to invite you to the exhibition. We would also like to thank you for your time and hope that we can welcome you on board.

Sincerely


Jens Poloczek
On behalf of LSBU 3rd year B.A. Digital Photography Students
