EVANSTON ETHNIC ARTS FESTIVAL
This weekend at the Evanston Ethnic Arts Festival the "T-shirt Art Flyer Exhibit" 
will replace our previous booth presence. The back of the flyers will urge the 
City of Evanston to lower the fees charged artists. This flyer art action will 
attempt to change our world in a practical way as well as in a humane way. 
Volunteers who wish to help can call me on Saturday at the Festival in Evanston 
on the lake front at Dawes Park between Davis and Church Street. It is just off 
Sheridan Road. My cell phone number which I will have on Saturday is 773/456-3564. 
Call me to connect to help pass out the "T-shirt Art Flyer Exhibit." Help encourage 
the City of Evanston to set a good example for other art fairs. They are bleeding 
us. Let's speakout with the art.

PRIME TIME TV FEATURING YOU 
Workshop artists are INVITED to promote their art on our cable TV program 
on Thursday evenings (prime time) beginning July 7th at 6:30 on Channel 21.

BACKGROUND

We are building our organization slowly to be able to sell art 
on t-shirts to help fund an inner-city arts agency that hosts 
art classes for youth and other community residents. We have 
dedicated ourselves to this task without pay for 15 years because 
we know it is needed and that government and civic leaders have 
ignored our needs. We ask artists to respect this mission. 

ARTISTS - Sell Your Art
 
You receive $2.00 per t-shirt sold retail. We will be promoting 
the art we have licensed with increasing intensity in the coming 
months and years. Who is "we". We is any of you(pl.) who help.

Our license agreement is "artist friendly" in that is pays an above 
industry standard and is not an exclusive contract. The artist is free 
to market their designs anywhere else including on their own website. 
We want to link your pages on our site to your site. How can you 
participate? Come to our Screen Print Workshop for Artists on Sundays 
from 3-6pm and learn how to print your art. Already know how to screen 
print? Come and show us your work. Your pens can change our world!
