December ??, 2009 To Whom It May Concern 2010 ALBANY TEEN ART SHOW For the past four years, the Albany Arts Commission has sponsored a teen art show to showcase local talent, and that talent is considerable. The show began with very few participants and the 2009 show drew more than 100 entries. All media appropriate for public display are encouraged, including but not limited to drawing, painting, jewelry, and sculpture. The Teen Art Show is open to all Albany teens. The work each submits is juried by the Arts Commission and the top three pieces receive awards. Albany residents choose a fourth award, the People’s Choice, by popular vote in May when the art work is displayed at City Hall. In an effort to include all student artists, we try to include at least one piece from each artist in that display. The Arts Commission hosts a reception for the young artists at City Hall on the fourth Wednesday in May. In order to continue this wonderful opportunity for Albany teens, we are asking local businesses and organizations to help provide prize money. The Albany Arts Commission is not funded, so money is scarce. We hope you agree that the Teen Art Show is an opportunity worth your contribution. The Arts Commission and Albany teen artists appreciate any and all support of this special program. If you can help, please send contributions to City of Albany Arts Commission, P.O. Box 490, Albany, OR 97321. Thank you. Albany Arts Commission: Glenda Fleming Marsha Meidinger Michael Moore Susan Whitacre Ellen Hamill Terry Poe Lynn Whitacre, Chair
