support the conference

Donate to help us grow 🌱

The Cosmos Conference is a passion project born out of the desire to connect more dyers across the globe in a meaningful way, and to bring the general public, art & cultural institutions, corporations, and governments along with us.

Our current primary financial goal is the $6000 deposit we need to secure our dates and rooms at our host hotel for September 2026. Our next goals will be to raise the money to cover travel, accommodations, and artist fees for our panelists, all of whom are professional dyers and most of whom rely on their dyeing (whether through teaching, production, fine art, or a combination thereof) as their primary source of income. We want to support bringing the best voices together for these conferences, and we don’t want finances to be a barrier to those who wish to share their knowledge and experience with all of us. We believe in supporting living artists, and in this case, living dyers.

Donations of CA$500+ will receive sponsorship listing on the conference's promotional materials, social media, and website, as well as a free Harvest ticket for the 2025 virtual conference (full lifetime access to the live and recorded/pre-recorded content). Donations of up to CA$500 will receive a public thank you on our Instagram account and cross-promotion on host ash alberg’s Instagram account.

Please note that as neither Cosmos Conference nor the host's company, sunflower knit, are registered charities, we cannot provide official tax receipts. You will receive a record of your donation via email.

Spread the Word

The Cosmos Conference’s primary vision is bringing industry leaders and professionals together from across the global natural dyeing industry to connect, collaborate, cross-pollinate ideas, and innovate change - artists, traditional knowledge keepers, scientists, researchers, farmers, designers, and more.

Help us achieve our goal by donating and spreading the word!
