Dear Imaginary Friends,
One of my favorite organizations of all times is the Art League, located in beautiful Alexandria, Virginia, along the Potomac River.
The Art League, a wonderful community of artists and art students, has grown over the last 26 years that I have been a member. Currently, due to a dislocation of our Duke Street Annex school space-- because of the Alexandria Waterfront Development-- we must move those classes to a new added space in our Madison Street Annex. To that end, the Art League is soliciting donations for the build-out which could cost about $250,000 or so. It costs a lot of money to make the building compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, to add venting from potential fumes created by art supplies, as well as proper lighting and classroom space.
One way the Art League is moving successfully toward its goal is by participating in Spring 2 Action, an Alexandria fundraiser on Razoo.com, which in turn is sponsored by the Alexandria Community Trust. The results are in! We won second place in most money raised and most donors. There was only a 24 hour window in which to post online donations. This is a challenge as some of our constituency is not really online very much... Nonetheless, with our trusty staff and eager to please members, we raised a whopping $45,000 in one day. Go, Art League!
We will of course continue to maintain our presence in the Torpedo Factory of Alexandria's Waterfront. Please come visit our school office and store on the second floor, as well as our lovely gallery on the first floor.
Isn't it time you signed up for a class? The Art League School
And it is never too late to donate!! ART lEAGUE DONATIONS
Just saying.
Just saying.
Your Imaginary Friend,
Patsie
