Project Manager: Caryn Halle, Julie Halpert '12 and Emily Strasser '10
We have begun to organize and brainstorm ideas for the best way to get the word out about the fast-approaching Haitian Art Sale and Auction in April. We are organizing a few off-campus excursions soon to put up flyers in local restaurants, art galleries and businesses. We are also recording a Public Service Announcement with Rick Knight of Clear Channel Communications which will advertise our Art Sale.
We have archived all the publicity surrounding the project over the past 7 years and are consolidating it in a report for future outreach endeavors!
Future projects include working with the Outreach Committee to do a brochure targeted for students (elementary through high school). We are planning to host a panel before the art sale, featuring members of Vassar faculty and some special guests to discuss the many aspects of Haiti's complex and political history and current challenges.
Only through true awareness comes true change!
