When you say "us", who do you mean? Are you proposing a more general submission such that ADA, as a group of artists, is given money to spend on their own projects, whatever they may be, before the aquittal is due? This seems too vague to hold water, let alone accountants. Funding for ADA to further spread its reach, invest in itself, an ADA event, perhaps a group exhibition, sounds more tenable however. Is this what you mean? If so bear in mind that not everyone that constitutes ADA is an artist, far from it, it seems.. All said, a submission from ADA, in self-interest as an internally adminstered, registered organisation, presents a strong position in itself.
