Project Overview
Quick Start Opportunity Grants
Project Details
I have been invited to exhibit photographs at Pizza Luce in Duluth during the month of January 2015. Several images will be from my recent visits to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area wilderness and existing works. I have a shortage of acceptable frames and mattes and I'm requesting funds to cover framing and matting before the January deadline.
