The fundred armored truck drove through Austin, and picked up the fundreds we’ve collected so far at St. Edward’s. Thanks to all of the schools who sent in fundreds for this event. We will still be collecting fundreds at the TASA 2010 conference, so if anyone needs more templates please let me know.
Here’s a picture from our recent pick-up event.
CALLING ALL TEXAS SCHOOLS & UNIVERSITIES!
Fundred Truck will be here on March 8th!
Be a part of the Fundred Dollar Bill Project, an artistic project connecting and collecting the voices of 3 million people across the country. By creating artistic interpretations of 100 dollar bills, participants will support the clean up of lead-contaminated soil in New Orleans. The special Fundred Sous Terre armored truck that will take Austin Fundreds to Washington D.C. will be here on March 8th at 2:30! Please join us starting at 1 p.m. in front of the Fine Arts Building for our Fundred Pick-up event: make a Fundred, have a snack, and listen to some music while we wait for the armored truck to arrive.
You can be a part of the solution! Make a Fundred. Make a Difference!
How it works:
Participants draw their own Fundred Dollar Bills — original, hand-drawn interpretations of US $100 bills — which we will deliver to Washington DC. Your Fundreds will be picked up by a special armored truck and presented to US Congress with a request for real funding to make safe lead polluted soil in New Orleans.
Participation is fun, simple, and free!
1. Distribute one Fundred template per person
2. Everyone draws their own original artwork
3. The Fundred Project will collect and deliver your drawings

GET INVOLVED in the FUNDRED DOLLAR BILL PROJECT
St. Edward’s University has become an official collection site for the FUNDRED DOLLAR BILL PROJECT, and is asking the members of TASA to contribute drawings to the project. The FUNDRED DOLLAR BILL PROJECT is raising local and national awareness of the hidden problems of lead pollution in New Orleans, and we can become part of the solution as we take part in this nationwide collaborative art project. Contact us for more information on how you and your school can get involved. It’s easy and fun, and we will provide you with templates and resources. Contact Hollis Hammonds at arts_gallery@stedwards.edu or go to the FUNDRED website at www.fundred.org.
