    Dear Elena,

    I hope this message finds you well and having a chance to enjoy the
    summer. The framed works returning from your studio for our yearly
    subscription series once again look great thank you!

    We have been busy at the paper studio preparing for our annual Fall
    benefit, which will be honoring three of our former residency artists Jane
    Hammond, Kate Shepherd, Ursula von Rydingsvard, and their
    supporter Mary Sabbatino of Galerie Lelong. For the past 18 years, the
    Annual Benefit has been our primary fundraiser, raising essential funds for
    our residency, exhibition, and education programs. The benefit is crucial
    for us to continue to be able to provide studio space, guidance, and
    inspiration for artists expanding their artistic vision through paper. This
    year, over 120 emerging and renown artists have generously agreed to
    support our efforts by creating original works on our handmade paper.
    These works will be featured in the Dieu Donne gallery preview exhibition
    in September, and auctioned at our celebration to be held at the James
    Cohan gallery on the evening of October 7th.

    As a long-term client, I am reaching out to you in hope that you will also
    consider lending your support for this exciting event. I would like to ask if
    you might consider a corporate sponsorship through the donation of 18
    basic wood frames (which we would fit) for our live auction works, each
    measuring approximately 18 x 24 inches? In exchange, we would be
    honored to list City Frame as a corporate sponsor on our invitation, and
    printed and online materials, as well as providing a half page
    advertisement in our benefit journal. We would also include four
    complimentary tickets to the event and VIP cocktail reception. We
    anticipate approximately 300 guests, many of whom are established
    artists, museum directors, gallerists, and collectors in the New York area.

    We would be thrilled to have your support in this very special occasion. If
    your schedule permits, it would be my pleasure to meet with you to
    discuss this further. As you know, we rely on many partners and

    supporters to help us provide a unique experience to artists I value our
    relationship with City Frames and am grateful for your consideration!


    With thanks,

    Executive Director
