Damien Dennis Imagination Fund Application — The Citadel

Artist statement

Fellow creators! I'm Damien, I'm a writer and creator advocate that spends most of my time bringing people together through Readi Social, a company I founded to help creators make real friends in real life. Today, I'm going to tell you about a grand vision I created 5 years ago. Something you usually only hear about in fantasy novels and distant human history, but that we finally have the chance to turn into reality as the solution to a modern-day crisis. This plan to addresses our lack of opportunities, support, and community, and impacts creators not just in my hometown of San Antonio, TX, but everywhere. Best part? We're going to build it, together. Welcome to the Citadel.
