Thank you to MAX volunteers and participants!

We would like to send a sincere thank you to all the volunteers that helped make the MAX Christmas Sale a great success again this year!  To those of you that baked, hauled, carried, transported, served and sold - THANK YOU, your time and effort are appreciated.  We raised just over $1100 through table fees and the sale of beverages and baked goods.

To those that rented tables to sell your wares, we thank you for participating and giving the community an opportunity to purchase your fine arts & crafts.

See you next year!

30 more collaborators needed to reach 100 women artists for International Women C

Village of Ayr [downtownayr@gmail.com] on behalf of AyrSpace has
requested distribution of the following call for Women artists:

30 more collaborators needed to reach 100 women artists for

International Women Celebrate!

Good morning:

My name is Jill Yuzwa and I am a community economic developer

located in the small village of Ayr in Southwestern Ontario, Canada

just outside Kitchener Waterloo. Kim Rempel, an International Daily

painter, and I are contacting you about an exhibition that AyrSpace

is hosting in early March to observe the Centenary of International

Women's Day called International Women Celebrate!  

One hundred women artists is our objective and we are now 70 strong!

Many areas of Canada, the U.S., Europe, Asia and the Middle East

have responded.

Our turnaround time is on the shorter side (about five weeks till we

need an electronic image and a narrative from our collaborators).

This time-frame is a result of a wee bit of municipal funding we

have been shortlisted for, and in a more exciting light - a book we

are doing featuring the works submitted and the stories of the 100

women who created them.

I am tapping away to try and cover the geographies we have not

reached. We do not have any collaborators from the Northwest

Territories yet. Please have a look at the submission page on our

website or follow the blog created for the exhibit.  [

http://ayrspace.ca/ ]ayrspace.ca and [

http://iwcelebrate.blogspot.com/ ]http://iwcelebrate.blogspot.com/

Could you please put this out to established women artists in the

Territory?

Many thanks for your consideration,

Jill (and Kim)
