Your Name/Logo/Message on Our New Traveling Prison Artmobile for the World to See

Submitted by dguard on
[Courtesy of Prison Art Gallery] It's time that word got out in the nation's capital (and across America) about your organization or business, and we're prepared to do it with our planned Prison Artmobile. This unique prison-art filled vehicle is bound to capture the media and public's attention. With spring upon us and the opportunity to showcase the more than one thousand pieces of beautiful art in our Prison Art Gallery throughout Washington (thanks to a legal challenge the ACLU won for us that allows us to use any public space), we're looking for a donated vehicle that we can convert into the Prison Artmobile. Ideally, we'd like a van, but will consider a station wagon or pickup. Any year after 1998 will do. If you have one to donate, there's a big tax advantage since we're a 501(c)(3) organization and we're not going to resell the vehicle. So it will be counted at full book value. We'll put your Name/Logo/Message on the Prison Artmobile at our own expense. Thousands of people will see the Prison Artmobile (starting in Washington and eventually traveling cross country). In addition to featuring your Name/Logo/Message, the rest of the Prison Artmobile will be attractively decorated by a skilled formerly incarcerated artist. It will also feature the famous Pablo Picasso quote: "Even in a prison, or in a concentration camp, I would persevere in my own world of art, even if I had to paint my pictures with my wet tongue on the dusty floor of my cell." Please contact us today about your vehicle. In the event that you do not have a used vehicle to donate, please consider donating funds to help us outfit the Prison Artmobile. The same offer to include your Name/Logo/Message applies. For further information, please call 202-393-1511 or email [email protected]. But please hurry. Spring is about to be sprung.
