Scenography Members will know that this month we had to close our Scenography Portfolios. I’ve worked on this website for nearly ten years and it was a heartbreaking moment for me. The global recession impacted hard upon our revenue. And we’d been lagging behind some bill payments for some time, in-fact I was topping up or deficit our of my own pocket. But there has to be a cut off point and this March was it. Some of you will also know that I am unwell and have had to attend hospital on a regular basis… these two things combined meant that I could no longer support the site in the way I used to. Maintaining the site is an almost daily task, the portfolios (which were built upon a complex software that required a good deal of care and attention) took up a lot of my time… and remember we all work here as volunteers!
Greek designer Nikos Kalaitzidis been a long time supporter of this site and with his and Angela’s help are looking to secure a more long term funding and staffing solution for the site, especially while I’m unable to commit the hours I used to due to health reasons.
If you would like to make a donation to the running of the site we would be very grateful. Even the smallest donations can make a big difference! Please do so below if you feel you can help.
Additionally we are always looking for new writers both in terms of more formal articles and our blogs, so if you would like to join in drop me a message below!
