Hi Ken: I don't know the specific rules of the grants Sue is using to pay
for specific items, so it wouldn't be right for me to speak specifically.
But you're right--no grant money is used towards the framing of the photos
or supplies toward the creation of art on behalf of an artist. But to put
on exhibits is a lot of money. For example, I do know that once Sue
uninstalls the exhibit that is currently up, the walls have to be repainted
in preparation for our exhibit--this is pretty routine. There usually is
some hand painted wall signage. Food and drink. Postage for mailing (which
can be very expensive). Any workman that do labor for an exhibit install
have to be paid--etc etc. I really don't know what monies are allowed to be
used for specific items. That's Dank's business, and I'm not going there
:-). I know this isn't a complete answer to all your questions, but it's
the best I can do. HTH. Cheers, Christine

I agree, lets move on. What's done is done.
Thanks for your involvement.
But how is grant money involved? The exhibitors have all paid for their
images. Where does grant money come into this ? Why would grant money have
any effect on another worthy cause?

Subject: PDML Exhibit Update
Hi Everyone:
A few updates:
1) The PDML Exhibit postcard issue has put me in an awkward
situation--I'm caught right in the middle between PDML and DANK, and I
can assure all my PDML friends it's not a fun place to be in. I talked to
Sue on the phone tonight, and she explained to me that there's a
potential conflict in placing the CureSearch logo on the postcard because
of grant money used to partially fund the expenses of the exhibit. She
can work around this by doing signage, which will include the CureSearch
logo, and placing said signage inside the gallery. I have no idea what
the particulars of the grant are (nor care to know), but I do know grant
awards are fussy. I know folks are disappointed and that this handling
of the CureSearch logo is not what folks originally wanted, but I really
think we should just move on.
2) Sue is fully aware that folks are very disappointed because I have
told her so. In our conversation tonight, Sue *explicitly stated* that
folks can email *her directly* with any further questions or comments

3) There's really not much more I can do regarding this situation. I
can't force CureSearch to hand over their donor mailing list. I can't
force PDMLers to not be disappointed. And I can't force DANK & Sue to
put the logo on the exhibit postcard. Given my impressive
ineffectiveness here, I've decided to just move on and enjoy myself at
the exhibit. I want all PDML exhibitors have a great exhibit and that
their work is well received at the opening reception, and I hope folks
can stay cheerful about the exhibit and rally round our PDML exhibitors.
Cheers, Christine
