I spoke to Jim Godfrey the director and let him know about our event, and he said he would try to make it if he could. He said it sounded fun. Jim would also like to approve of the poster and t-shirt logo before they get printed. (if I or design team could email him that would be awesome) He also said they would donate towards our printing costs around $200 and he would give me the code for printing in the reply email after I sent him the pics of our poster etc. He also mentioned to not go over the amount he gives, apparently last year they went over. Go figure right? He said they should let you know how much it costs before they print on campus and that the RECEIPT would NOT go to linda moore, but rather back to his office on the 5th floor of GT to Stacie Owens at the front desk.
I was thinking we could do 80 shirts with logo at around $4.30 a shirt times 80= around $350 approx. I included shipping in total. I looked at food from BYU To-Go and the food prices were decent, depending on how much we get or what we get, it could be anywhere between $100-300, donuts, cookies, cheese and meat and cracker trays, brownies, drinks, paper plates, etc.
see you all tomorrow!!!!

Press Releases
I have consolidated the two kinds of press releases and put in all the details I can. I figure for the contact information our marketing people will probably want to put their own info so they can be contacted for further information? I will be e-mailing this to Derek as well so hopefully he can get some things done with promoting the event. I added the official event blog's url to the contact info at the end as well and I will update that blog ASAP to reflect the most recent information about the show! I also had my sister, who is an English major at UVU, look these press releases over and help me edit a few things. If you have any questions or concerns with this please let me know ASAP!
Narrative Style Press Release:
The root of all fear, according to Francis Moore, is that we’ve been forced to deny who we are. The Identity art show is a project designed to provide local youth with artist-mentors in the form of Utah Valley University's senior visual art students. This collaborative process will yield an increased understanding of and appreciation for the individual identities of everyone involved, as well as new and exciting works of art proclaiming who we are, which will be on display starting April 9th at Provo Town Square.
This celebratory exhibit opens to the public on Saturday April 9th at 7:00 PM, and gives us each the amazing opportunity to better understand ourselves and our incredibly unique community. Come enjoy the engaging music of local band Holy Water Buffalo, appreciate the talent of local artists, and show your support for our local high school teens who are brave enough to put their identities on display. It will be a night to remember, full of art, entertainment and discovery. “Open your ‘I’” and be identified!

IDENTITY
I am Utah. I am UVU. I am a mentor. I am a student. I am art. I am Identity.
“Open Your ‘I’”
Francis Moore said “I’ve grown certain that the root of all fear is that we’ve been forced to deny who we are.” The Identity art show is a project designed not only for the senior Visual Art students at Utah Valley University to identify who they are as artists, but to also help provide youth within our community with the opportunity to work with artists to discover their own identities.
We as artists and students will display not only our own artwork, but artwork created by local youth in a professional art show. The Identity show will be sure to gather attention not only for the historic downtown Provo area, but more importantly to art as well.
Join us on April 9th, 2011 at Provo Town Square for the exciting opening of this show. As you stroll through the gallery of works, listen to the engaging tunes of the band Holy Water Buffalo, appreciate the talent of local artists, and enjoy the night life of Historic Downtown Provo. We as students have been encouraged to “open our ‘I’” and discover who we truly are. We hope that the artwork displayed will not only showcase our talents, but our personalities as well. So please come and enjoy a night of art, entertainment and discovery. “Open your ‘I’” and be identified!

Venue Progress
Hey all!
Friday, Amanda and I spent some time going around to try to nail down a venue for the 'event.' We first hit Noni and were delighted with what we saw! We were also pleased with the reception we got from the man who showed us around and showed us several of their rooms. The only thing we were not delighted with was the price. Starting at $50 an hour and going to $150 an hour, to start, we realized there was no way we were going to be able to have a space there for a couple of days, 3 or 4 hours apiece. So we gathered information, which Amanda has, and went to the Provo Library.
There we found a scheduling person who was great! Not only was she helpful, she told us they would give us a discount because of our school status. Only two problems, we would have to take down the art work after the event opening and set back up the following day. Seems Mary Kay has the room the early part of the day. The other thing is there is no way to put anything on the wall. The same goes at Noni.
Finally, we went to Provo Towne Square where we met a great person named Dee. We told her who we were and she recognized the school and said that another person (Alisen) had spoken with her and Dee wasn't sure they wanted to do it, considering what happened last year. But, being the "motherly" type when I have to be, I assured her that the Management team would make sure (I would) no one would leave until the space was the way it was when we got there. I mean no one. So for anyone thinking they have plans to go somewhere else afterward, it will have to wait until everything is clean and everyone does their FAIR share. I promised this and if Alex and I have to stand guard at the door.... Not really, but you get my drift. Everyone's cooperation is greatly needed and appreciated.
Al in all, we had a very successful day and Dee is going to check with her boss and give him/her our assurances and see what happens. She is supposed to get in touch with us Monday. With all we have to pay for, this would be the best venue, in my mind. Not only price, but we can hang out work on the walls, if we do it according to their instructions. Thanks for your ears, rather, your eyes!
