FREMONT AND Moser proved to be a dynamic team and they tirelessly promoted the program to artists working on public projects and in nonprofit exhibition spaces. Fremont worked on outreach, while Moser oversaw the warehouse and worked with individual artists to write proposals and solicit materials for their respective projects. Fremont and Moser recognized the increasing need for materials in public schools’ art programs and opened the warehouse one additional day a week for public school teachers, occurring well before MFTA formally partnering with the Department of Education in 1997.
Together, they were able to conduct more outreach, increase donations, secure greater exposure, and spearhead Materials for the Arts’ very first fundraising event: Spare Parts.
