Each year, Hand Eye Society invites our community to come together to support the artists, storytellers, and creators who make the indie games world so vibrant. Our Annual Fundraiser is now live, and we need your help to keep this momentum going.

Why It Matters

Your donations go directly toward:

• Compensating artists, workshop hosts, and speakers
• Produce accessible exhibitions and hybrid events
• Run community-building programs like Super FESTival, WordPlay, and Futures Forward

In 2024, your generosity helped us:

• Feature 40+ game artists
• Host 10 workshops
• Platform 20 guest speakers
• Support 2 immersive artists and 4 alternative game creators

In 2025, we want to support even more artists, and we can’t do it without your help.

From the Hand Eye Society Board of Directors:

We wanted to say a special thanks to our community for continuing to support our mission—the celebration of videogames as a form of creative expression.

The Hand Eye Society’s annual fundraiser is an important event that directly supports the staff, artists, and educators in our community. Last year’s fundraiser exceeded all our expectations, and we are extremely grateful for your support and the trust you put in us to help make Canada an exceptional place for videogames and art.

Please take a moment to look at our fundraising link and help us through donating and/or spreading the word. Every little bit helps create support for Canadian videogames, and we couldn’t do it without you.

Thank you once again from all of us at Hand Eye.

Sincerely,

Neilson Koerner-Safrata

Hand Eye Society Board Treasurer
