THANK YOU!!!
Kia ora!
On behalf of the How to Art team, we want to say a HUGE thank you to every one of you for helping make our fundraising campaign an enormous success! We have been completely blown away by the generous donations given over the past month. Making it to 108% is such an incredible achievement; our hearts are full, and we are so deeply appreciative.
This UK season is a huge step for us as artists, and to have the support of our community means the world. You’ve helped to make this ambitious tour possible, setting us up for success and creating a more sustainable environment for presenting our work abroad.
We’d love to continue sharing our journey to Edinburgh Fringe with you, and invite you to follow along! You’ll find regular updates on social media @ratbagstheatre and our personal accounts. Flick us a follow on Facebook or Instagram to witness the madness unfold.
If you’d like to get involved, we’d love your help spreading the word of our season. If you know anyone in Edinburgh or the UK, let them know we’re coming! Our tickets are live and can be purchased here: https://underbellyedinburgh.co.uk/event/how-to-art
Once again, thank you for believing in us and supporting our project. We couldn’t be more grateful and are so excited to duct-tape ourselves to a Scottish wall for a whole month this August!
Much love, Katie, Bronnie, Georgie, and the How to Art team x
We’ve cracked 100%!
We are beyond excited and grateful to announce that we have surpassed our target of $15,000! As our gallery attendant would say; SOLD!
We are completely blown away by your generosity and could not be more appreciative. Thanks to the support of our community, our UK premiere will have the financial backing it needs to be a success.
We have two more days left of our campaign, and it’s not too late to donate. If you or someone you know planned on contributing, it’s still possible!
Any extra funds raised will go towards marketing and advertising costs in Edinburgh, increasing opportunities for building audiences in the UK while also reducing our team's reliance on box office sales for covering baseline costs.
Thank you all once again, your support means the world to us.

76% of the way there and nine days to go!
As Kevin and Kevin would say, OHMYGODWOW!
A huge thank you for your generous donations and support! Thanks to you, we have reached 76% of our ambitious goal. We can hear bagpipes and smell bananas in the distance. We're so close.
With just over a week to go, you can continue to help us by telling your friends and sharing our fundraiser far and wide. Being an all-or-nothing campaign, every little bit helps us get closer to 15k, and that beautiful moment where we can announce SOLD!
Special shout-out to Go Media, who gifted us a billboard this week as their way of supporting our campaign. We're enjoying it while it lasts because lord knows there are no free billboards in Edinburgh!
With love, Georgie, Katie, Bronwyn and the How to Art team x
