After Supper Visions
Things are revving-up for a fantastic finish to this HUGE year for ASV!
In addition to ongoing sales of ASV Christmas/holiday cards, another fabulous opportunity has emerged to help ASV artists.
The Chicago Loop Alliance sponsored our recent Pop Up Art exhibit at 230 E. Madison. Now Program Manager Tristan Hummel has introduced us to Zipcar, an innovative start-up company that wants to make a positive impact on the economy and on the world.
Zipcar offers a new new way for people to rent and drive cars by the hour or day, gas and insurance included. These cars are available in neighborhoods, cities and airports around the globe. Drivers join Zipcar with a driver’s license and credit card then, at a place and time of their choosing, they walk up to a car they reserved, unlock the car with their Zipcard, and be on their way. Zipcars provide a smart and easy way for people to customize their driving experience, while helping reduce the number of cars on the road, the amount of gasoline needed worldwide and the amount of crude oil needed to produce the gasoline.
Zipcar and Marketing Manager Tony Paske arranged to have two local artists use their Honda Insight “Isthmus” and their Mazda3 Hatchback “Mccollam” as blank canvases to showcase their talents. These two cars are now decked out and, for every hour each is reserved, Zipcar will donate $1 to ASV! What a wonderful gesture, for Zipcar to make this monetary donation, while helping to spread the word about ASV, and promote a greater appreciation for art, wherever Zipcar vehicles go!
