Sample letter: From: Janice Wright Sent: Monday, December 3, 2018 1:42 PM To: Emily Kapes Subject: Women Artists of the West Show Inquiry Dear Emily,

One of the members of our organization Women Artists of the West (WAOW) spoke very highly of The James Museum and suggested that it might be a good fit for our annual art exhibition. Similar to your founders Tom and Mary, we also share a love of Western and wildlife art. WAOW is one of the oldest national women’s artist groups in the country and all membership levels are juried. While our roots go back to 20 western horse women who combined their riding and rodeo events with their art careers, we have expanded our membership base to include 300 members from over 30 states and Canada. WAOW members create both in their indoor studios and en plein air. They paint and sculpt still life and floral, landscapes and seascapes, figures and portraits, ranch and rural life, traditional and contemporary west, wildlife and domestic animals, historical events and Native American subjects. Styles are varied and diverse and include impressionism, expressionism, realism, representational and contemporary in all fine art media and in two and three dimensions. We have secured venues in Colorado for 2019 and Arizona for 2020. Currently, we are seeking a venue for 2021, 2022 and 2023. Would you be interested in hosting one of our annual art exhibitions? You may view an online catalogue of our work and find out more about us through our website www.waow.org Many thanks for your consideration, Sincerely,

Bonnie Brenz Ghost Towers
