2011 Wall Calendar Collaboration with VSA & Joshi X UNM Hanga Project, photo by Jonathan Parks
VSA Announces a New Donor Drive
Just in time for Holiday Gift Giving! The first 50 donors who gift our organization $100.00 will each receive an original 2012 wall calendar that has a unique handmade print. These calendars are a result of a special collaboration between VSA Day artists and the Joshi X UNM Hanga Project. Each calendar measures 15” X 21” and are printed in Japan on a finely woven textured paper.(see example from last year)
The Joshi X UNM Hanga Project is a service learning objectives project where the students practice printmaking through collaborating with community people and children who need special support and/or don’t have any opportunities to make prints. Our artists collaborated in June of this year under the direction of Yoshiko Shimano and her students from UNM printmaking class. Their prints were completed and then sent to Japan for assemblage into beautiful unique wall calendars.
Terry Schurmeier of Cowboys and Indians Antiques is the lead donor for this campaign….please join her and others who support creative experiences for all and demonstrate humanitarian community responsibility. Each donor will receive a tax donations receipt. Special thanks to all the artists for sharing their talents.
We have 50 calendars for the first 50 donors who contribute $100 each. These will be available for pick up in late October or one can arrange for shipping (there are additional charges for shipping) For more information and/or to make a donation please contact Lina Jabra, Community Development Director at 505-345-2872 ext.25 or email at ljabra@vsartsnm.org or click the Just Give Donate Button on our website and specify Wall Calendar.
