Essential Art Prints of Freedom
2006 EssentialArt Holiday cards
The 2006 Essential Art Holiday card was originally 2x2.  Every year an original image is digitaized slightly to create a holiday card.
The above was created to remember VT victims and the need for all of us to come together. It is called "We Are All a Little Hokie" (scroll down)
PRINTS OF FREEDOM

The contest to win a package from  FREEDOM BOAT CLUB ended on July 4, 2006.  Many thanks to Freedom Boat Club and Dr. Bowman at International College for such kind contributions and enthusiastic participation in the reception.  Congratulations to Dave Jeronimus for winning the package!

The Prints of Freedom have also been on display at Bank of America on 5th Ave. and Robb and Stucky, where we celebrated January as National Mentoring Month to promote the Governor's Mentoring Initiative, thanks to Bob Tiffany and Ashley Murphy.

If you purchase a print, numerous charities will benefit as well as a public safety program designed by Michelle Finnegan and endorsed by Human Services Director of Collier County Barry Williams.

The participating organizations are as follows:

 Catch the "Red Eye for New Horizons"  

There is "Still Life With Peace" located in Golden Gate

"Sally Fields" will be on display

"Don't Stay a Dumb Turkey", learn what this print says in the Library on Central Street.  This was the foundation of "We are all a Little Hokie" in memory of the VT tragedy.

Support our troops and answer the call of the Naples Concert Band during a Military Moment, "Does the Banner Yet Wave?"

"We're Here for the Kid's"

The Naples Historical Society has "Real Palms" located in Olde Naples at the Palm Cottage

"Goodness Grows" and so does this garden.  Come find this print and see what the future holds for Naples Botanical Gardens - it's exciting!

ANYONE who became a member or a volunteer at any of the participating organizations and mailed in copies of their approval  were ENTERED TWICE to win the package.  All mailings had to be received by July 1, 2006.
Special thanks to the Photo Lab for making quality prints and reproductions and donating six to display at the show...
Although there will only be one winner of the package from Freedom Boat Club drawn on July 4, 2006, everyone who participates will be a winner.

The package from Freedom Boat Club includes a private instructional lesson from a Freedom Boat Club Boat Captain who will teach the winner how to properly navigate the local waterways and operate the Freedom Boat Club Boats.  After that initial instructional class, the winner will be given three free passes to take out a Freedom Boat Club boat of their choice.  Boats can then be taken out with 6-8 of their friends.
Upcoming events to watch for:
Another painting will be created live at the Big Brothers Big Sisters HOWL at the Moon event at the Naples Beach Hotel on March 17, 2007
