Subject: Real Art Ways seeking Fundraiser Dear Friends, This year Real Art Ways turns 30 years old. Founded by artists, and always with artists at the core of our mission, we have expanded to connect with community in many different ways. From exhibitions featuring emerging, mid-career, and veteran artists, to larger thematic exhibitions, to public art projects, to movies, concerts, performance events, readings, and social events, we work hard to have a place where all kinds of people feel comfortable, and where new ideas can have a home. Real Art Ways will be holding our second big fundraising event - Real pARTy 06 - on the evening of Saturday, April 8, 2006. Our first Real pARTy was successful, and to celebrate our 30th year we are again having artists, and new work, as a central theme of this event. We are inviting artists to create original pieces of art for the fundraiser - all on the same sized canvas (or that will fit in the same space). Each artwork will be taken home that night by a ticketholder to the event. The event will be held at Real Art Ways, so that guests can enjoy our beautifully renovated galleries, our theater and the social space of our Loading Dock Lounge. t will be a memorable evening, focused on innovative art, and on Real Art Ways 30 year history, and we would love to have you be a part of it. Would you be willing to create and donate a piece for our fundraiser? We'll supply the canvas, and the shipping, if you'll supply the art. Artists' contributions will be key to the success of this event. (Additional details on the Real pARTy and what we're asking you to do are listed below.) Real Art Ways has grown despite a particularly challenging epoch for alternative organizations. Even as we have expanded our audience base, we have continued our commitment to innovative, unconventional, and emerging artists. I would be grateful if you could reply to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED], or call (860) 232-1006 x118, by January 20 and let us know if you can help.
