Dear Readers,
Two Coats of Paint�began publishing�in 2007, and this past year,�thanks to your generous �tax-deductible contributions,�ongoing�support from advertisers, and subsidized rent from the Two Trees Cultural Space Subsidy Program, we have been�able to continue for another year. Your funding enabled us�to�produce�articles, pay�contributors, promote�our intern to a paid position, host resident artists, visit artists� studios, organize open house events, and curate two exhibitions. All�of these activities involved members of the�Two Coats��community, and we�are grateful not only for your financial support, but for your participation.
If independent art projects�like Two Coats of Paint�are valuable to you, please�consider supporting�us�again in the coming year by making a tax-deductible contribution.�No amount�is too small.
Here is what your generous financial contributions will support in 2018:
$50 = One post
$45 = The monthly fee for the Two Coats of Paint newsletter service
$150 = A studio visit with an artist
$250 = Utility bills, data storage, wifi, and trash fees for a month
$500 = An artist�s residency for one week
$15/hour = Editorial assistance (directly effects the number of posts we can produce each week)
$775 = Monthly office/residency space rent
To those �who have already donated to our 2017 campaign: THANK YOU!
Warmly,
Sharon Butler
P.S. As in past campaigns, contributors who give more than $100 will�receive….something. Any suggestions what the gift�should be this year? �Perhaps we can commission an artist to do a limited edition print? Leave ideas in the Comments section. Must not be too�expensive to ship!
