FUND REQUEST

FOR THE FOUNDING OF THE MUSEUM MODERN-IST

The Modern Arts Museum needs a budget to afford the restoration of the 100 years old Stone School in Prince Island and to transform it into a center museum by 2005. This budget should cover the restoration of the building, construction of exhibition areas both indoor and outdoor, suitable for sculptures and other works of art, the establishment of a small coffee-house and a shop for souvenir, administrative units, some indoor workshops, financement of the guards, renewing the infrastructure of the school building, promoting public relations, and a working capital for helping Turkish or international artists who would give some piece of art as grant or create new ones for the museum, as to the expenditures of shipment, creation, materials, or hosting the foreign artists in Prince Island.

Estimated Budget

(in Euros; insurance not included)*

* We do not have yet an estimation about insurance of the artworks and the property, but we hope that some local insurance companies may take over the costs for free advertising. However we know that the project of Harlem Bienial envisioned insurance expenditures as USD 50.000. So we did not include insurance costs into the estimated budget, but rather we tended to enlarge the unexpectable part of the budget. ** The amount expected is much lower with respect to international standards, but we hope that many artists will donate their artworks to the Museum.
