INTRODUCTION by Barbara Mason

"Inspired by Japan" Relief for Japan's Tsunami victims.

The interest in the relief print project has been heart warming. We all have friends in Japan and have benefited by our relationship with the Baren Forum.

This edition of prints will be a total donation and I expect it to be the high caliber of work that represents our organization in a stellar manner. The opportunities that come from this type of a fundraiser are ten fold. I have already received offers to exhibit the prints in several countries and this will also help raise more funds and add to everyone’s resume.

The cut off date for inclusion in the portfolios will be June 1, 2011. This is a long way out but will allow anyone on the fence to make a last minute decision to be included. I need the work here in Oregon by June 15, 2011. We are now at 67 participants, any new signups will go on a waiting list.

We will be partnering with the Portland Japanese Gardens for our marketing in the first go round. More info to come on this.

Project website will be here

The size and number of prints has come into question so see the DETAILS section below for more info.

Send work after May 12 and before mid June to:

Aloha OR 97007 USA

*US Postal mail is the cheapest so use that for shipping


PROJECT SPONSORS


Special Discount offer on Paper

McClains Printmaking Supply has agreed to sell us 20 sheets of paper for 50% off.

To the Baren Forum:

When checking out, you will see a box marked "Special Instructions." All you need to do is write "tsunami" in that box and we will give them the discount. You will NOT see the discount on the acknowledgement but we will take care of it here.

Please also be reminded that Oregon does not have a sales tax, and the estimated shipping cost in the shopping cart is always high. There is a box you can mark requesting the least expensive shipping option for your order and I would suggest they mark that unless they have a strong preference one way or the other. The least expensive shipping is usually UPS Ground unless the order is under 3lbs, and then Priority Mail could be less.

What a fantastic response you have had! It truly is heart warming. Thanks so much for letting McClain's join in.

ESSENTIALS
  • Participation: You must be an active member of [Baren] in order to participate in this project. The mailing list that makes up [Baren] is open to everyone to join, and the membership is thus made up of a mix of 'lurkers' and active participants in the forum. Signing up for this project obliges your active participation in [Baren] discussions... If you remain a 'mystery' name, it leaves everyone feeling quite uncomfortable.
  • Rejected prints: If your prints do not conform to the above specifications for Medium, Image size, Paper size, Paper type, and/or Delivery deadline then the coordinator could promptly reject them, notify you by email, and (if you enclosed sufficient postage) promptly return them. You may repair and/or replace the prints prior to the delivery deadline or drop out of the project.
  • Communications: email for coordinator: fundraiser_coordinator

MAILING
