Former Penland resident artist Margaret Couch Cogswell is using the USA projects micro-philanthropy website to raise funds for her tiny gallery Mobile Cabinet of Optimisms, Curiosities & Other Possibilities. Based on a prototype she successfully exhibited here at Penland last summer, the tiny gallery will be constructed of salvaged and found materials, and, filled with original works of art and craft, will tour the region, sharing art with a broad, inclusive audience.

Time is short… Margaret’s project needs to meet its funding goal by midnight tonight to receive any pledged support. If you would like to read her proposal and/or consider helping her with funding, click here to visit her page on the USA Projects site.
