[Vdf_newsletter] Volterra Artist in Residence

[wladek.fuchs at volterra-detroit.org]

Dear Friend; 

Greetings from Detroit! 
I am writing you on behalf the Volterra-Detroit Foundation, the
educational partner of the UDM SOA. We are a group of UDM SOA Faculty
and Alumni who have turned our love and appreciation of the beautiful
town of Volterra into educational and artistic opportunities for the UDM
SOA and Detroit community. You know us already, you know that we are
capable of miracles (with a little help from our friends J ) We are very
grateful for your help too… 

We have an excellent opportunity to jumpstart a new program in Volterra:
Artist in Residence (of course, with Detroit and Michigan artists in our
focus). We were nominated for the Give Detroit Challenge with other 49
Detroit foundations. Interestingly, we are the only foundation in the
challenge dedicated to art. Our presence in the challenge is also
important to show the value of art for all of us. The most important
thing though: you can help us win $10,000 or even $25,000 from the
sponsors, if we finish at the top of the list. But we need a lot of
friends to help us with small amounts of money to make it happen. So
here is the question: can you donate $10 to the Volterra-Detroit
Foundation? 

Just visit the Crowdrise Give Detroit Challenge page to make your
contribution:

If you want to learn more about the Challenge and our Artist in
Residence program visit http://www.volterra-detroit.org [2]. 

If you could also spread the word about the Give Detroit Challenge, and
about our hope to win? :) 

Your help will be greatly appreciated. 

Sincerely; 

Wladek Fuchs
 President, Volterra-Detroit Foundation
 Associate Professor, School of Architecture
