Emerging as a epicenter for dark-spirited artists worldwide, Gothe Residency of the Arts (GROTA) has become renowned for its upcoming artist residency program and unique community initiatives, all tailored to the dark, creative spirit.

This past year, we have hosted a number of Darkmarket events and live community gatherings, each infused with our distinct vision, celebrating our community spirit wherever we go—spreading the reach of our creative programs and connecting with artists around the world. However, we have been facing a grave setback. Our founder Vincent Gothe’s beloved hearse—a vital part of his travels—has been broken down beyond repair for over a year.

As a result, cross-country travel to host our events has become not only cost-inefficient but also fraught with challenges, limiting our ability to bring GROTA's unique vision to new locations and communities. This setback prevents us from fully sharing our cause and connecting with our audience as effectively as we desire. Acquiring a new, reliable hearse to serve as our tour and equipment transportation vehicle is a crucial step in our journey.

Please join us this August in raising funds to make this vision a reality. Every dollar contributed by our beloved community will bring us closer to haunting new roads! Additional funds raised will support our autumn and winter community programs and initiatives, ensuring that GROTA's impact resonates throughout the year.
