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 County’s Zoo, Arts, and Parks Program, which covers only 2/3 of our season expenses. We’ve already had an amazing season, and the weeks ahead offer opportunities to hear some of Salt Lake City’s best literary voices, including Andy Hoffman and fiction writer Nicole Stansbury. Utah poets Nancy Takacs and Jan Minich will read together in April. And it’s 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 ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your home page. http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
