200 YEARS OF CLARENCE - SCULPTURE GARDEN IN 2008
Clarence (meaus) Next year, the town of Clarence will celebrate its 200th Anniversary.
The Museum of European Art will contribute to this historical occasion by the Dedication & Unveiling of its SCULPTURE GARDEN on Sunday, September 7, 2008.
The ceremony will take place in the presence of a delegation of artists from Europe.
The development of the project started 3 years ago, and people are starting to take notice of the progress.Still, much work needs to be done before opening: 400 feet of fencing, additional pedestals for sculptures, and the acquistion & transportation costs of additional sculptures from Europe and 8 large display walls for reliefs.
The Museum does not receive any financial support from the government. All is accomplished by the idealistic support of friends, acquaintances and people who appreciate fine art. At this time, donations from residents and businesses in the Clarence and Amherst areass are urgently needed, so that the Sculpture Garden can be opened already in 2008.
"We would like to invite you to become a part of this unique project and consider making a generous donation toward the completion of the Sculpture Garden. The names of the donors will be engraved on plates, and attached to several of our Display Walls with fine bronze, marble or terra-cotta reliefs", said John Zavrel, director of the museum.
The suggested donations are $ 300 per individual, or $ 500 per couple.
Business and institutional sponsorships are also available.
All donors will promptly receive a receipt for their tax-deductible donations, as well as a VIP ticket to the Dedication & Unveiling ceremony on September 7, 2008.
The checks should be mailed to:Museum of European Art,
