This is great. I am Chair of our City of Pasadena's Accessibility & Disability Commission and do other things within the city on a volunteer basis here in California. I'm working on a steering committee for a community conversation conference we are putting on in August. I would like to know if there are any artists...that may be willing to allow us to display their work at our conference. I think it would be a wonderful opportunity for artists with disabilities to show their artwork... The catch is that we really don't have budget so we can't afford to pay, or ship. This is truly the down side, but again, we are expecting around 200 people, and city officials...and hopefully a Senator, Assembly person or two...and it would be great advertising for up and coming artists with disabilities. For more details, please contact me via email or cell number... We are in the beginnings of how this is to work out, and the steering committee would need to preview the work before it is accepted. Thank you in advance, Donna Pomerantz Home email dmpomerantz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cell number 626-233-2991 Work email dxpomerantz@xxxxxxxxxxxx Work phone 626-585-3174
