Thanks to everyone that made this year’s Artists Against AIDS a tremenous success. 

Just a brief reminder to the artist…pick up will take place on Wednesday April 29th from 5:30-9:00 pm at the Orpheum Children’s Science Museum.  Because of the lack of space in the GCAP office we will not be able to store artwork until you have a chance to pick it up.

I look forward to the opportunity to thank each and everyone of you for giving so freely of your talents to our organization.

I thought i would pass along this information along to anyone who may be interested.  Here is the flyer for this opportunity.

Hello Mike,

I am currently finishing up the paper work for the video but I do have the flier as promised. Our plan is for the video process to take two days, depending on people’s availability. On the interview day people will be asked to fill out an application, take a photo, sign release forms, and tell their story. At the end of this session we will determine ( myself and the person) how we can use their contribution. I am aware of how important privacy and disclosure is so there is more than one option for participation. No real names will be used and at the persons request we can have an actor come in to portray them or even a dramatization of certain expieriences from their lives. Payment for helping will be $25 per session, the second session being the actual filming of the video, if participants are willing to tell their story on video they will come to session two, recieve a make over, and film the video. This is all the details we have worked out for now. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

I look forward to this project with you and thanks for helping
