CALL FOR Volunteer Graphic Artist
Poster Needed for EMPTY BOWLS United World College Fundraiser
Empty Bowls/UWC Event seeking Volunteer Graphic Artist
This is a request to local artists to create a graphic that we can use for our Empty Bowls event poster. The event takes place on Feb. 25th, 2012. Local ceramic artists and the United World College Pottery group have produced 200 bowls to be sold at the event. Entertainment will be provided by UWC students and any local artists who wish to participate. We did this event two years ago and it was very well attended. The proceeds for the event will go to the Las Vegas Soup Kitchen and Samaritan House. We would like to have the poster ready for distribution by January 23rd so we would need a drawing/photo image in the very near future. Please contact Jane Warsaw (505-425-3120; janewarsaw@gmail.com) or Sharon Seto (sharon.seto@uwc-usa.org) if you are interested in helping us. We can provide inspiration! Thanks so much.
