Update #5: How do I possibly thank each and every one of you...
Hi, everyone.
I just wanted to tell each of you how much I have appreciated your amazing support throughout the adventure that this Kickstarter fundraiser became. Initially I was skeptical as to its results, but the truth of the matter is, where there's a will, there is always a way!
For all those who donated $50 and above, the offer stands for me to take you on a private tour of the exhibition, as well as a tour of the Great Falls historic district (inlcuding the beauty of Paterson Falls!!!).
You will also have a beautiful Peruvian dinner at Griselda's restaurant in downtown Paterson-- some of the most authentic and delicious food you will ever taste. Be ready for HUGE portions, just like the show and building itself!!! :)
For anyone donating $150 and above, you also qualify for the donated works by individual artists.
More details will follow.
Until then, please continue to view our blog at http://escapefromnewyork.tumblr.com which will be having numerous updates in the days ahead, including three more studio visits with artists Stephan Fowlkes, Peter Soriano and Richard Eagan!
Wishing you all the best.
Please feel free to email me at olympia.lambert@gmail.com with any questions you may have.
We are also looking for volunteers for our installation, and any and all contacts and referrals for people interested in the show further is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Olympia Labert, curator
