SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS

Artists Needed!
We are seeking creative, ambitious, reliable artists to work with us on designing and creating an ART CAR. The goal of the project is to turn owner Sue Port Simon's black Dodge Caravan into a work of art, that will be both promotional for the gallery, but will be art, in and of itself. We are open to any and all ideas for design. We plan to attract media attention for this project for the gallery, as well as for the artist(s). This is a terrific opportunity for someone with initiative, and will be great experience (and good for your resume, to boot).

If you have interest in discussing this opportunity in greater detail, we would love to hear from you in the near future. Please email Sue Port Simon at spsimon@art4gallery.com.
