Dear All,

Anyone can do artwork, in any form they want, but Jennifer is asking
for the children's work that are NOMID patients to be on 8 by 10 to 10
by 13 inch canvases. Michaels, Aaron Brothers Art Mart and most any
good art or craft store will have canvases, and they are not too
expensive. Siblings and any family or friends are encouraged to do any
artwork that they desire to have up for the sale! Thanks so much for
your interest.

I have cut and pasted Jennifer's information she posted a few days ago
regarding the artwork, and the event again, in case anyone missed it
previously. Jennifer Earnhart would like to be contacted directly
regarding this festival, and any art submissions you plan to do as
soon as possible. I, and the rest of the NOMID Alliance are assisting
in other ways, but she will be the one coordinating this project, and
would be best to contact about any questions. We truly appreciate
your support! Her info is at the bottom of this e-mail for her, that
I have pasted below.

Thanks,

Karen Durrant

From Jennifer Earnhart:

We are very excited about the upcoming fundraiser. We will be hosting
an "Art Festival"My husband's Advertising Agency, Earnhart + Friends,
has been gracious enough to host this very special event. He and his
entire team are working dilligently to makethis a special event that
will benefit the NOMID Allinace. This event is planned for
Thursday, November 1st. We are asking local artists in our area to
donate pieces of their work for the show. These pieces may include
paintinigs, drawings, pottery pieces,photography, etc.

We are very excited about another aspect of the festival. We would
like to feature the artwork of some of our children with these
syndromes. These pieces will be auctioned off as well. If you are
interested in participating we would like the artwork to be done on a
stretched canvas that is either 8x10 or 10x13 in size. We cannot go
bigger than a 10x13 for shipping reasons. You can purchase these at
any of your local arts and crafts stores.

The shipping costs of the finished canvases will be paid for by the
Liberty Group, which is my husband's printing company. We greatly
appreciate them agreeing to donate the shipping costs. Information
will be provided below with shipping instructions.

We would also like to encourage any of you adults who may be artists,
or know of artists who are friends, to share your talents with us. I
know there are some of you out there.

There is no limit to your child's imagination. They are allowed to
paint whatever they choose. If they would like to title the painting,
please write this title on the back of the painting, along with you
child's name, location, and date.

We thought this would be a good opportunity for our kids to get
involved with the fundraiser and also it puts a very personal touch to
the event. If you would like to submit a picture of your family or
your child we would display that next to their artwork. Feel free to
send as many pictures as you would like of your child or family. We
would prefer you send these in digital format either by email or CD.

Our plan is to create a slide show to showcase during the event. If
you cannot send it digitally then you can just mail us what you have.
You may include a brief bio if you would like. You may take the
opportunity to tell us about your child and if you would like to tell
about how your child is affected with these syndromes that would be
fine. Any and all information would be nice to have.

We are also going to try to include some pictures from the NIH, the
Children's Inn, and the doctors in the slideshow. We also plan to
create an online slideshow of the event so each of you can see your
artwork on display and feel a part of that special night.

If you would like to be the one who actually buys your child's artwork
( to guarantee that you will own your child's artwork), then you have
the oppotunity to pre-purchase it prior to the event on November 1st.
Please let us know if you are interested in this option. The
pre-purchase price for each child's artwork will be $200.00. If you
choose not to pre- purchase, and your child's artwork does not sell (
which we hope this will not be the case),then you can post purchase
your child's artwork for a minimum of $150.00. If you
plan to pre-purchase, you will still need to ship the artwork to us.

We want all children's creations to be on display. The pre-purchase
option is a great way for grandparents, close friends or relatives to
make a dontaion to the NOMID Alliance.

All funds raised from this event will go directly to the NOMID
Alliance. Thelocation for the event, the food, the shipping costs, and
any other related event expenses will be covered by our generous
underwriters.
