Sweet potato pie

What would you do with the $25,000?

I have a traveling art exhibit. I take found objects, to recreate various time periods and events from the Black experience: Black Cowboys, the Green Book, Rosa Parks, etc. All money comes out of my pocket. I am a senior citizen, so even though I love doing this, it is very expensive. This money would help a lot
