Fall Theatrical Production in need of Artwork for set

A message from Nadine Franklin, Theatre Director at Kishwaukee College:

In preparing for the fall play, we find ourselves in desperate need of art work.  There are three different hotel scenes and three apartment scenes - each needing their own styles of art.  Can you help us in this endeavor of the show?  Of course we will include names in the program, take great care of the works, and give them back promptly once the show closes.  We don't have a budget to buy pieces.  The walls are large and we can show anyone interested the space.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The play needs art.  This is an opportunity to help out, promote the arts, and get your work seen.  If you are interested and can help, please contact Nadine Franklin at:
Nadine.Franklin@kishwaukeecollege.edu
Thanks.
