Cut off of June 14th for artists' submission.Cancellation policy on the venue- Clove will get in touch with the venue to see.On the cut off date, if the artists submitted are requesting at or less than the budget set for the event general consensus is that we would forgo the event for giving that money to the artists. We decided last year that the reason we were doing this was for the immediacy, but also so that more artists could be funded then what we would have funds for.BylawsRebecca has incorporated the decision of the Board about the ownership model.
