Re: Funding for Marjory Stoneman Douglas Art Exhibition and
102nd Birthday Celebration
Dear Mayor Suarez:
Planning for this year's Marjory Stoneman Douglas invitational Art Exhibition
is well underway and we hope you can join us for the opening reception on
April 3, 1992. We will also be celebrating Ms. Douglas' 102nd birthday.
The exhibiton will be open free to the public from April 4 through May 22,
1992, and will promote public awareness of our unique natural resources.
Proceeds from this exhibition will benefit the New World School of the Arts.
The Center for Visual Canrnmication, the non-profit 501 (c) 3 organizer of the
event and exhibition, has had an outpouring of cannunity support, but is still
far short of covering the costs of the exhibition.
This year's exhibition poster will highlight a new picture by nationally
acclaimed photographer, Clyde Butcher. The poster will include instructive
text about the Everglades system and restoration projects by the South Florida
Water Management District. The posters will be distributed throughout the
Dade County school system for environmental education programs.
This year's contributors include: AT&T, Bacardi, Goldman Sachs, Windmere.
WSVN Channel 7 and WLRN Public Radio. However, we have lost much of the
financial support we had counted on from banks, retailers, law firms and other
businesses affected by the economy.
I would like to request a personal appearance at the April 2nd camiission
meeting to request funding in the amount of $10,000.00 for this year's
exhibition.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Barry Fel
