Crowd Fundraiser Benefiting Backline (3D) – Art by Half Hazard Press

Tarpestry and Blackspy Marketing have teamed up to present a crowd fundraising opportunity to benefit organizations in need – bringing together music industry-influenced organizations and visual artists. #TarpestryForACause
This fundraising collaboration benefits Backline – a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that connects music industry professionals and their families with mental health and wellness resources— streamlining access to a network of trusted organizations and care providers that understand this line of work.
Artwork by Chris Gray of Half Hazard Press. This work was originally started at the beginning of 2020 as a very personal conduit for the artist to process all the events, stresses, and fears that we all have encountered in the last year. “Over the last year, this idea became a way to cope with and aid my mental health throughout the last year, starting at an all time low and completed during a season of health.” – Chris Gray

Crowd Cow is on a mission to help people discover and access the highest quality food from responsible sources. They aim to bring people together — producers and consumers, families and friends. That’s why the company partners with ethical farms and fisheries around the world; source high-quality and more sustainable food; and share the stories of the products and producers they carry (and why they need a street team!).
Blackspy + Crowd Cow are looking for people who are driven, agile, and motivated to make a positive impact on the food system.
