CITY ART
March 20, 2008
Dear Friend of City Art,
With the coming of spring and a fine program of poets and writers coming up,
we thought we would give you the opportunity to make a contribution to City
Art.
City Art is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the literary arts, and is
unique in the state of Utah for the frequency and quality of its programs and
the loyalty of its audience. As you know, programs are free and open to the
public. We are asking for your help to supplement the funding we receive from
the Utah Arts Council, The Salt Lake City Arts Council, Salt Lake Countys
Zoo, Arts, and Parks Program, which covers only 2/3 of our season expenses.
Weve already had an amazing season, and the weeks ahead offer opportunities
to hear some of Salt Lake Citys best literary voices, including Andy Hoffman
and fiction writer Nicole Stansbury. Utah poets Nancy Takacs and Jan Minich
will read together in April. And its our privilege to host a special reading
by Kay Ryan on March 27, the day following her Branching Out lecture on Emily
Dickinson at the Main Library. Our fall season featured readings by Molly
Peacock, Gregory Orr, and Ethelbert Miller, all poets of national stature.
City Art readings always draw a varied, interested (and interesting!)
audience, and they end with an open reading where anyone with a poem or short
prose piece can try it out on appreciative ears.
City Art is a 501 (c)(3) corporation and therefore contributions are tax
deductible.
If you would like to make a contribution of any amount, you may send it to
City Art at 1416 Butler Ave, Salt Lake City, UT 84102.
Sincerely,
Joel Long
President
