JB Seed - an arts grant fund. Now in its fourth year, this project is unique in
its ability to pull together the established and the emerging within the arts
community to share resources and knowledge, subsequently creating a sense of community.
This is achieved while maintaining the flexibility to operate in a responsive
manner, to offer what artists in the establishment phase of their career require
to assist them in becoming self sustained.

Of 2008 round of funding for The JB Seed, John Butler said today:
&8220;When starting The JB Seed 5
years ago, Danielle and I always hoped it would one day grow into something
bigger than just a grants body funded by the Trio&8217;s success. As the
years have passed our expectations have been surpassed by the generosity
of so many. The fund has become bigger than the sum of its parts with contributions,
financial and in kind, from artists and associates including the legendary
Paul Kelly and Missy Higgins, industry icons Sebastian Chase (MGM Distribution),
Richard Kingsmill (Triple J), and John Woodruff (Rough Cut Music). Other
arts philanthropists who have also been moved to contribute include Maureen
Ritchie and Paul Gilding (ECOSCORP). As the fund grows I am continually
excited by the potential impact the successful applicants can have on the
Australian arts community. Bring it on.&8221; John Butler

Hey there. Hope all is well down unda. Hope to make it that way sometime before too long. Maybe for the Woodford (?) folk festival in DEC or whatever it's called. I'm trying to get JBT to come perform at a benefit festival I'm organizing in Clear Lake, IA, but it's taking them a very long time to get back to us on our offer. We have a great line up of passionate musicians to play at the historic Surf Ballroom to raise money for the China earthquake relief. Wish us luck. Peace and solidarity, sarah
