LET’S ARCHIVE DOUGLAS MAX UTTER [1]!

Doug is one of Cleveland's premier artists and a noted art critic. Doug’s peers at the ARTISTS ARCHIVES OF THE WESTERN RESERVE, friends, and collectors are committed to raising the necessary funds to archive Doug. Archiving Doug will save for posterity, both his crackling puddles of paint and his velvet prose. We want to preserve his unique talents and identify Cleveland’s role in his work.

DOUG AGREES: Not only has he cordially agreed to be archived, but as a fund-raising incentive Doug will supply five signed giclee prints* of his work as prizes at a donors’ Raffle Party on September 25.

*"…these are not at all merely giclee prints, but actual smaller paintings on etching paper, about 9"/11", executed over giclee prints. In other words, they're essentially five very different compositions composed of paint and other materials, as well as an initial giclee image.” (Doug Utter)

Would you like to win one of these prints? Make a contribution and come to the Raffle Party! THE RAFFLE PARTY Here's how it works:

Your donation assures you (plus 1 guest) attendance to the Raffle Party on Thursday, September 25, 2008, 6:00 to 9:00 PM.
