An Art Project - "keep the artist alive, drive"

Ja Witcomb, an Emily Carr art student completing his final year at the Emily Carr program at North Island College, has created a final fundraising project entitled "keep the artist alive".

From his letter: "I will be putting my trust in the Comox Valley to see if my community will directly support me as a practicing artist. I will be canvassing businesses and residents for donations of support to help sustain myself and my art during my last semester at school. Through basic interaction with my community, I hope to gain a broader understanding of how art and artists are valued and appreciated.

Everybody who participates becomes a part of the art. No donation is too small. Artist-made t-shirts are available as gifts...for monetary donations of $15.00 or more."

to donate: phone Ja at 250 792 0226, email him at jawdraws@shaw.ca. Visit his website at www.jawit.com
