Call for ART ATTACK Contributions
Soroptimist International of Phoenix (a 501(c)3 organization) is calling for artists to donate a painting for
auction at the Art Attack to be held on April 6, 2008, at JW Marritott’s Camelback Inn. Contributing
artists will be given an 8 x 10 Masonite canvas on which to create a unique piece of art. Content is limited
only by talent, imagination, and community standards. Artists will be recognized in the event program and
given an opportunity to display brochures or business cards. Attendance at the event typically ranges from 600
to 800, providing an opportunity to reach a large audience. Net proceeds from the auction support Soroptimist
selected charities and activities focusing on improving the lives of women in the local community. Other art
pieces may also be donated for the auction. Donations must be turned in by March 1, 2008.
To participate, contact: Terry Parker, tpfromaz@cox.net, 602-510-7720. www.siphx.org
