Call to artists: 'Art For Literacy' program

This program was originally based out of the Tyendinaga Township
Public Library and has now expanded to include the Deseronto Public
Library as well. 'Art For Literacy' is a unique opportunity for
artists of fine art to partner with the Tyendinaga Twp and Deseronto
Public Libraries Literacy Programs. We are inviting all artists to
exhibit their work at either library or both should they wish.

Exhibits are held at the library for a period of one month and there
is no charge to show at either library. The only requirement that 'Art
For Literacy' has is that if a piece sells during the display period
that a 15% commission is paid to the library, the commission then
being used to fund literacy programs for children and adults.

The Art Co-Ordinator, Cynthia Guthrie, advertises all exhibitions in
local newspapers and in addition the work of the monthly artist is
also featured on our blog, 'www.artforliteracy.blogspot.com'. We are
currently creating a website and once it is up and running the monthly
artists work would also be featured there as well.

If you have any questions regarding this opportunity please do not hesitate to contact either myself, Rita, or the Art Co-Ordinator, Cynthia, by telephone at (613) 967-0606.
