The ‘dotte Arts Project is hosting a fundraiser at The Crofoot in Pontiac on March 27th 8pm-11pm. The ‘dotte Arts Project, the ‘dAP, is looking to raise funds for the summer festival and the general running of the
project throughout the year. The purpose of the ‘dAP is to promote emerging artists whenever possible. “If it’s through our summer festival with the Wyandotte Street Art Fair or if it’s through smaller art shows like this fundraiser,” says co-chair Aimee Rodriguez, “ we want to give newer artists every chance possible to encourage them into continuing creating. The ultimate goal being the connection between the artist and the buyer, that connection is where the magic is created. Nothing motivates an artist more than for some stranger to purchase their work.” The Crofoot has numerous artists and musician opportunities throughout the year. It's an extremely artsy venue which makes it the perfect backdrop for the 'dotte Arts Project fundraiser. They have art shows and one of their nights each week, Phonotropic, focuses on showcases some of the area’s best musicians. “One of our goals at the Crofoot is to connect musicians and artists from around the country, and specifically Metro Detroit. Working with 
‘DAP is a great partnership, because we bring downriver artists to Pontiac and vice versa. We are very pleased with our collaboration,” Dan McGowan, the Crofoot. The fundraiser is going to feature 17 artists who are in different stages of their art endeavors including some who this is the first event of this kind that they are doing and some who do this often and are seasoned at it. The list includes Audrey Pongracz who has been with the ‘dAP since its inception two years ago; DeEtta a painter and jeweler; Shionne Designs jewelry design; Kevin Beehner a painter; Talking Squid a crafter; Roko a painter; Jennifer Proescher a crafter and jeweler; Beth Amber a painter and photographer; Terry Walsh a painting and crafter, Patricia Goodell and HFCC Pottery group; Rudy Salazar III a painter; Mike Wood a photographer; Norma Nothings Painting and Jewelry; Bea Jacobs jewelry; Glass Action; Reware Vintage; Lish 
Dorset and more … The music lineup is going to have a more old timey feel with indie blue grass bands Misty Lyn & The Big Beautiful, Frontier Ruckus and Tone & Niche. DJ Bouget will be spinning between the sets. The fundraiser for the 'dotte Arts Project is happening March 27th at The Crofoot in the Pike Room, doors open at 8pm. "We are so excited about this event," says Rodriguez, "because it’s a chance for us to extend our reach and help out more artists."
