The Artist Within, in conjunction with the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and the CCSA (Contemporary Ceramic Studios of America), is participating in the national campaign "Create for the Cure" to help support the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. The event is scheduled for the week of October 2-8, 2005, during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Our participation will be conducted in several ways. The first will be the donation of 100% of studio fees collected during the week; secondly, we will have a "Change for the Cure" jar for customers to make donations. In the third phase of our campaign, we are asking local artists to "Paint a Plate for the Cure". Ceramic plates painted by our participating artists will be on display and included in a silent auction held during the week. ArtsWalk, October 6th, should draw a large crowd and a lot of generous bids. Winning bids will be announced Saturday October 8, 2005 and all of the proceeds will be donated to the Komen foundation.
The Artist Within will provide all necessary materials for participants; we are asking the artist for their creative touch. Artists are invited to join us Wednesday, September 21st from 6-9 for our "Paint a Plate Party", an evening of food, fun and painting.
Please give this worthy cause as much of your attention and press coverage as possible. Wednesday's "Paint a Plate Party" would be a good "photo-op".
Thanks for all you do.
Sincerely,
Bob Hartley
the Artist Within
