So many people to thank
for ARTvision... This event is a collaborative
effort and I so appreciate everyone’s enthusiasm and
support. Go to our Honor
Roll
First and foremost, thanks to our artists and buyers, both new and
returning - you helped produce nearly 20 purchases and
$3,500+ in 2008 and are absolutely the lifeblood of
ARTvision. You are all treasures for helping to raise
such a great chunk of change in a challenged economy.
We are nearing the $10,000 mark of funds raised over four
years.
Also, to Michael Baker at Positive Impact for his support and energy
in spurring the event into a new dimension. Michael’s
transformational work with the agency has created new
connections and renewed urgency of which we absolutely
can’t lose sight.
Also, sending thanks...
...to Mike Fleming, for going from
ace reporter to fan to buyer in a
matter of weeks; to Kurt Schreiber, for new friendship
and energetic involvement; to Michele Segre, Sean
Mansfield, Rocky Modena and Jim Detmer for making
the New Year’s Eve Gourmet Pizza
Extravaganza so successful, lively and
fun; to Larry and John for their heater generosity on
New Year’s; to Phil Palmer, owner of
Radial Cafe, for donating his space to us
and throwing
such a great closing party (the event helped raise an
additional $500, and counting).
...to Paul Plate, for his great leadership of
Positive Impact, and to Toni Ross Weir,
for her enthusiasm, new PI position and ARTvision purchase; to
all of our visitors who didn’t purchase but who came
to look anyway, both online and in person - we hope to
convince you for the 2009 event; and to JD Isaacs, who
with his shop, Rose² Gallery &
Framing, was an ARTvision
artist, framer and cheerleader
all rolled up into one.
There are so many other people to thank - if I’ve
forgotten you, please no that I’m grateful for your
support and friendship.
