During the event we will have tiered door swag available for purchase, two raffles: a $1 surprise box and a $5 artist box, and a silent auction with 6 to 10 items available. One of the pieces available at auction is a piece of our 2022 temple, there is a piece of bark at the top that's a recreation of the stick that was written on the 2022 temple. The two pieces of a broken heart were in each of the figures when they were built and burned with the temple. The images in the background are printouts from the original art submission that was sent to us in 2020. The shadow box shows the one heart shared, broken with the loss of a friend.
The review team will decide which projects get funded for the 2024 Alchemy event. Team members will decide to fund projects to their minimum or maximum requested amount for both waves of applications. Any additional funding in that wave’s pool will be redistributed for projects up to their maximum to bring more goodies.
