Fat Mama’s “25 Donkey” Freestanding Art Project

November 29, 2013/in Latest News /by Fat Mama's Tamales

Friends & Neighbors

We would like to thank everyone for their support for our “25 Donkey” Freestanding Art Project we launched on Kickstarter.com. 

We did not reach our funding goal of $39,999 and we will not be able to purchase the 25 full size fiberglass donkey sculptures and distribute them to local artist to be painted and displayed.  We would have really enjoyed bringing this project to life and providing Natchez with a unique project, we hope this project will inspire others to launch crowd-funding projects that can have a positive outcome in our community!  For those who pledged to the project, we are grateful for you support of Fat Mama’s Tamales and our project!

We ended up with 46 backers who pledged a total of $6,062, or 15.15% of our goal.  We had over 750 video views and over 500 Facebook shares.  It was an eye opening event, both in terms of setting up, organizing, planning and launching our first crowd-funded campaign, and while financially unsuccessful, the lessons learned will be invaluable moving forward.

Fat Mama’s will continue to work on some different ideas to celebrate our 25 year anniversary in June 2014 and we look forward to continuing to making positive investments in our community!

Thank you for everyone who pledges, offered their support, time, effort and ideas!

~Fat Mama

Fat Mama’s “25 Donkey” Freestanding Art Project

October 9, 2013/in Latest News /by Fat Mama's Tamales

Friends & Neighbors

Fat Mama’s Tamales just released a project on kickstarter.com!

We are attempting to crowdfund an art project in Natchez, MS in conjunction with Fat Mama’s Tamales turning the ripe old age of 25 in June 2014.

Fat Mama’s “25 Donkey” Freestanding Art Project, will provide our community free standing donkey sculptures, painted by local artist and artist with a Natchez connection, that we feel inspire, provide art in public places and ultimately enrich the “Natchez Experience” for everyone who lives and visits our community!

The Krewe of Fat Mama’s along with Fat Mama’s Tamales is excited to launch this project and see it through to completion.

This project is an “All-Or-Nothing” project in that all funding must be raised by November 28, 2013, or all pledges will be cancelled and this project will not take place.  Any pledge no matter how large or small is greatly appreciated and will help move this project forward.

You can view the project at:

Fat Mama’s “25 Donkey” Freestanding Art Project on Kickstarter.com

We appreciate your support over the last 25 years and being a positive influence in our community for years to come!
