The Radical Renewable Art + Activism Fund (RRAAF) is a new and autonomous alternative funding scheme initiated by artist Ellie Harrison and supported by 157 backers of a successful Kickstarter campaign (now the "RRAAF Founders"): http://www.rraafund.org/kickstarter.
Once set up, RRAAF will use a wind turbine to generate energy to fund a ‘no strings attached’ grant scheme for art-activist projects in the UK.
The RRAAF project concept will be launched in Glasgow during December 2015 with a series of publicity stunts featuring the "RRAAF Mascot" – on Thursday 3rd outside Mono Cafe Bar as part of The Only Way is Ethics and on Thursday 10th outside CCA for ArtCOP Scotland.
These will culminate in this Launch Event at CCA on Thursday 17 December 2015. The event is free and open to all, and will feature presentations and discussions from Ellie Harrison, Georgy Davis from Community Energy Scotland and some of the RRAAF Founders, as they outline the plan for making the RRAAF project a reality in the coming years.
