Hello all:<br>
</div>
<div>I recently began an MFA Program at Marywood University (see
<a href="http://www.marywoodmfa.com/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">www.marywoodmfa.com</a> ) I have also begun the research process for my
thesis. My (working) title of my thesis is "Designing for a
Changing Society: Creative Work for the Public Good." I
intend to base a fair amount of my research on first person
interviews.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am writing to you to ask you if you know of any creative
professionals (designers, fine artists, illustrators, creative
writers, poets, musicians etc...) who do work pro bono (for the public
good) Here is a link of an artist from St. Paul, Minnesota that
my friend sent me, this is one example of the type of work I am
thinking of, although I am interested in all types of media. <a href="http://philinthecircle.com/art.html" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://philinthecircle.com/art<wbr>.html</a> Also an article about his
style and work is listed here:
<a href="http://potw.news.yahoo.com/s/potw/23115/strokes-of-genius" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://potw.news.yahoo.com/s<wbr>/potw/23115/strokes-of-genius</a> (I have
emailed this artist, and am awaiting hearing from him regarding an
interview)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am also attaching the (rough) draft of the basic problem and
its setting with the hopes that you will better understand the type of
work I am looking for.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Currently the following have agreed to first person
interviews:</div>
<div><br>
Milton Glaser</div>
<div>Steven Heller</div>
<div>James Victore</div>

<div>I am looking for well known, as well as much lesser known artists
(I am using the term 'artist' to describe all creative professionals).
My main purpose is to find artists who dedicate a fair portion of
their time, talent and creative energies to do work for the public
good. Work that has a socially significant message, and possesses the
capacity to galvanize others into action, with the hope of ultimately
causing positive social change.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Ultimately, I want to ask if you will:</div>
<div><br>
a) respond
back to me with the names and contact information of any such artist
and/or</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> b)
forward this email to any one you think might be interested, or who
might be willing to forward this email to others as well....</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you in advance.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Peace,</div>
