New Horizons

IMG_2452

There are people who make other people smile at the mention of their name. ASV artist Mike B. is one of them. He is a remarkable photographer and generous member of the ASV program, always willing to give advice and support to new artists every year. Mike also is an accomplished, courageous person, expanding the visions of life for all who see the striking images he captures on film from his wheelchair. Now, a corporate client is interested in his work, and Mike  is making a portfolio of all of his ASV photos since he joined the program in 2009.  Here Mike is yesterday, putting his collection of ASV photos together while the Photo Team frames all of the artists’ photos, in preparation for the upcoming annual photo exhibition. Come meet Mike and all of the 2016 ASV artists on June 10th (5-7pm) and June 11th (1-3PM), at 721 N. LaSalle Street in Chicago. Expand your horizons and join us.

Corporate Interest Continues To Grow

The ASV Photo Team is deeply grateful to all of our corporate sponsors who support ASV and its artists through their generous donations. See our Corporate Sponsor page for the growing list of businesses who have seen the beautiful photography and want to support the inspiring potential that ASV artists have.

Do you have home or office space that could be enhanced with ASV prints? Can you think of any of your colleagues or associates who might also benefit from learning more about ASV? Do you have connections to Chicago media outlets, so the work of ASV artists can be appreciated by a much larger audience throughout the city?

We welcome the opportunity to speak with you about any ideas you have to increase corporate connection to ASV. Please contact Catholic Charities Project Manager Katie Tuten at ktuten@catholiccharities.net, (312) 655-7003. Thank you.

Thank You, Gene & Georgetti’s & Goose Island!

The list of ASV corporate sponsors continues to grow, as the 14th Annual ASV Photo Exhibition nears on June 10th and 11th.

Two legendary Chicago businesses are making significant donations to ASV this year: Gene & Georgetti’s restaurant is donating the appetizers and Goose Island Brewery is donating the beer for the Opening Gallery event on Friday, June 10th. These donations are greatly appreciated, as they off-set the expenses for this special evening and allow ASV artists to benefit more from the proceeds of this two-day event. One behalf of ASV and its artists – Thank You!
