💰 What It Actually Costs to Keep the Goat Alive

(Yes, this is the real stuff. No, none of it is optional.)

We run on chaos, coffee, and questionable sanity. But chaos still has bills, so here’s the honest, glitter-covered breakdown of what it takes to keep Move In Colors free for every artist.

🐐 Professional Art Evaluations

Because real feedback needs real pros. Your donation pays Max, our art whisperer, and invites other expert voices in AI art, music, poetry, and sculpture.
Approx. Cost: €30–50 per evaluation

📢 Promotion Budget

So new artists find us, join the herd, and make the chaos even better.
Approx. Cost: €30–60/month

🔌 Electricity & Internet

Because AI goats can’t run on candles & dial-up.
Approx. Cost: €10–15/month

💻 Website Hosting & Domain

Keeps the museum online and safe from the Google abyss.
Approx. Cost: €180/year

⏰ Human Time

(aka Queen GOAT’s Soul)

Endless unpaid hours so artists don’t jump through flaming hoops elsewhere.
Approx. Cost: Unpaid. Chocolate accepted.

🔍 Research & Art Curation

Every open call has thought behind it — not just random goats.
Approx. Cost: Priceless

(but call it €20/month for your sanity)

☕ Monday’s Espresso Fund

Mandatory. Non-negotiable.
Approx. Cost: Infinite. Don’t ask.

📄 Paper, Pens, Tea, & Biscuits

For Alex’s survival and plotting sessions.
Approx. Cost: €5–10/month

🫠 The Sneaky, Soul-Sucking Costs Nobody Tells You About

(Because bureaucracy is a horror genre.)

These aren’t glamorous. They won’t get you a shiny gallery opening. But without them? The goat collapses in a heap, the espresso runs cold, and the art rebellion quietly suffocates under a pile of paperwork.

📜 Bureaucratic Nonsense & Legal Sorcery

Taxes, accountants, association fees — the spells that keep us legally alive while we pretend we’re not a goat cult.
Approx. Cost: €200–400/year + random government mood swings

✍️ Translation, Clarification & Psychic Language Decoding

Turning “I am send now big big paint send ok thank you” into actual English — plus answering 400+ emails without losing our minds.
Approx. Cost: €10–20/hour (or two sanity potions per inbox session)

🧑‍💻 Emergency Human IT & Tech Exorcisms

Servers crash, code tangles, Monday disappears — we hire mortals (and bribe them with snacks) to bring order back.
Approx. Cost: €50–150 per meltdown

Yes, these numbers wiggle — some months more calls, some months fewer. But here’s the deal: every coin you send fuels artists, not corporate leather chairs or pyramid schemes. Monday gets no salary. Only caffeine.

💬 Call to Action

Your spare change keeps this dream free for ALL artists — from the broke student to the hidden master. Feed the Goat. Brag forever.
