De Appel Curatorial Programme

Hi! I'm Alisa. I am a curator from Western Australia, who has just been offered a fully sick opportunity to attend the world's best curatorial training programme (probably). I just need a few $$$ to make it happen.
De Appel is a world-renowned arts organisation in Amsterdam which accepts 6 artists each year to undertake ten months of workshops, seminars and intensive immersion in the international contemporary art scene. Basically every hotshot curator you know (er, Adam Szymczyk, Defne Ayas, Raimundas Malasauskas, many more) has attended and/or teaches there.
Please help me to become one of these hotshot curators by exchanging your spare cash for some sweet rewards!
You can check out some of my past projects at http://alisa.pizza

Budget Overview
De Appel asks for a deposit of $1000 to secure my place. This money then goes towards paying for the programme, including fees for their tutors. For a small investment, I get some incredible training, which cannot be found anywhere else in the world.
Potential Challenges
The De Appel Curatorial Programme looks like super hard work! It is a full-time schedule of crazy meetings, teaching, and independent research. I'm pretty sure I can handle it tho, and this is the life I chose when I became a curator so bring it the heck on.
