Members donating $100 or more have the option to accept a limited-edition print of an original work of art by an Arkansas artist. Annually offered, the original works are selected by the Advisory Council, and each print is signed and dated by the artist or their representative. Prints are suitable for framing and sized for careful conservation in the 9" X 12" presentation portfolio included with the initial qualifying donation. The 2010 Collector's Portfolio print option is of George Dombek's Together in Time and Space from the original watercolor completed in 2002. Special appreciation goes to our generous return portfolio project sponsor Exhibition Associates: this corporate support guarantees that portfolio membership donations are 100% tax-deductible. Thank you, Exhibitions Associates, for helping the Friends of the Gallery encourage Arkansas artists and collectors by sponsoring this recognition gift! Mr. Dombek is a nationally-known watercolor artist whose work is in over 600 private, corporate and museum collections, and has been featured in more than 100 exhibitions. He has received over 80 awards and now divides his time between his Brooklyn, New York, studio and his home and studio in the Arkansas Ozarks. |
