TROP DE FUN, PAS ASSEZ D’CASH

Centre Clark

Every two weeks until December 16, CLARK will tell you about the times when we had too much fun, and not enough cash.

There are no secrets between us. Sometimes, we just need a little extra help to do what we want to do! These stories are just a few examples of the ingenuity and dedication we have shown in our mission to support our artists and serve our community.

And yes, you too can help!

 

No donation is too small, no fun is too big!

Story #1 – November 4, 2019

At CLARK, we have TOO MUCH FUN, but NOT ENOUGH CASH.

Like the time Corine discovered the secret to frosting Plexiglas

We were so proud to show Kapwani Kiwanga’s work, no request from her was too big. But frosted Plexiglas is expensive. Really expensive. Had we been able to afford it, we would have saved ourselves a lot of trouble. But it was all worth it in the end. Really!

TOO MUCH FUN, NOT ENOUGH CASH. Because we should never say no to artists. Even when they ask for frosted Plexiglas.

 

Story #2 – November 18, 2019

At CLARK, we have TOO MUCH FUN, but NOT ENOUGH CASH.

Like the time Fanny made Christmas stars out of BBQ chicken bags.

We’re always looking for cheap and unique decoration ideas for our Grande Boom, so we worked hard to get Rôtisserie Romados to sponsor our event. And yes, the bags were new.

TOO MUCH FUN, NOT ENOUGH CASH. Because we need real decorations. BBQ chicken bag decorations are funny, but only once.

 

HISTOIRE #3 – 2 décembre 2019

À CLARK, on a TROP DE FUN, mais PAS ASSEZ DE CASH.

Like the time we told Guy Boutin he could do anything he wanted on our walls.

And boy, did he ever! Every wall of gallery 1, from top to bottom, was plastered in his Peinture ultra merde, much to everyone’s delight. Too bad we failed to consider how long it would take for him to sand it all away…

TOO MUCH FUN, NOT ENOUGH CASH is for more project money, more intensity, more craziness. And the ability to hire someone when we really need a hand!
