Poet and emcee Melissa Czarnik (Zar-nik) has been accepted into an artist residency in France to write and record her forthcoming album, Non Merci at the Camac Centre D'Art. If the project goal of $2,000 is fully met, Czarnik will finish her next album while abroad in France and you, the supporter, will receive the album (plus corresponding perks). It's a win, win for everyone! Plus, if Czarnik exceeds the goal and raises at least $4,000 she will go on an European tour with producer Eric Mire spreading her message of female empowerment and positivity (homegrown in Milwaukee) throughout the world!
