Subject: mural summer camp

Hello,

	As a member of the MATCH Corps at the Media and Technology Charter
High School, I am organizing a summer camp for Boston Public High School
students from July 5th- July 8th.  We are collaborating with the MBTA to
paint a mural to be installed at the Central Ave trolley stop on the Red
Line in Mattapan.  As an AmeriCorps program, we are encouraged to involve as
many community members as possible in our projects, which is why I am
contacting the Dorchester Arts Collaborative.

	For the duration of our camp, we will need a space to paint the
panels of the mural and leave our materials overnight.  We are expecting 15
campers, each painting their own 3 x 2 ft. panels.  If you know of any
artist or organization that would be willing to donate such a space large
enough for all of us, please let me know.

	In addition to a studio space, we are looking for an artist to help
us with the layout and actual painting of the mural on the days of the camp.
We will be painting during the mornings from 7/5- 7/8 and could use someone
with artistic experience to help us out.  

	If you know of either a space we could use or an artist who would be
interested in  working with our campers, please let me know as soon as
possible.  Feel free to pass this email along.  Thank you so much for your
help- I really appreciate any advice you have for us!

Many thanks,
Deirdre Brodie
