Potential Patron, emergency foundation support or business exchange deal or an exchange: tickets for a full size major realist portrait of you or a loved one in oils and done in the classical styles of Renaissance, Baroque - your call. Must raise money or exchange for tickets (some people may have frequent flyer credits whereby they could purchase round trip tickets in my name in exchange for portrait or something). Call:The Shelburne Museum, Director of Collections, Eloise Beil (802) 985-3346 - Ext. 382. She will verify and offer verbal or written recommendation. Additional references at end of this posting.

My Problem: Have been able to borrow, work for and raise all the money I need to return to Florence and continue my summer studies in Florence; all except for round trip airfare to attend. Cost me approximately $1200 last year to fly from Burl., VT to Florence and then back.

Must leave Burlington, VT last week in June - arrive Florence, Italy. Leave Florence, sometimes first week in August, arrive Burlington, VT. Times fluid but program starts July 1st ends August 1st. Need some rest time before classes due to jet-lag problems experienced last year.

Hate to leave too early because I have a regular summer job as Assistant to the Conservator at the Shelburne Museum, Shelburne, VT. set up: before and after Florence "July Intensive" program and I need all the money I earn to help cover next year at RIT. Director of Collections is Native Staten Islander, Eloise Beil, (802) 985-3346 - Ext. 382. She will verify and offer verbal or written recommendation.

I am desperate for a patron, emergency foundation support or business exchange deal or exchange: tickets for a major realist portrait in oils - their call. Must raise money or exchange for tickets (some people may have frequent flyer credits whereby they could purchase round trip tickets in my name in exchange for portrait or something). Ultimately, if I can't raise this money, I cannot attend and have already sent deposit.

If you have any info or ideas to offer, please respond ASAP if you can.
