Dear Friends
In preparation for an exhibition for Polish children hospitals I am collecting since months handdrawed "smile's" of polish personalities. Now it is time to invite celebrities from abroad to participate in this project.
My aim is to present to children in polish hospitals handdrawed smile's of 1000 famous persons from home and abroad. Hence it would give me a great pleasure if you and people working with you could find a second in your busy day and if you could forward me a little handdrawed "Smile", even symbolic one.
After the exhibition's grand opening in the Royal Castle in Warsaw these "Smile's" will be presented in all polish children hospitals and thus ease the children's stay in hospital.
With the friendly assistance of the polish branch of UNICEF and presuming your approval, it is planned to edit an exhibition catalogue including the best "smile's", whereby the revenues will be provided for different medical children projects. After the end of the touring exhibition all Smile's will be made available to picked children hospitals.
If desired I consider your preferences. Furthermore I would appreciate to give you more information on this project.
This is already my second exhibition. The first was organized on the millenium of Gdansk, where I presented exibition called “1000 autographs for 1000 years of city of Gdansk at Polish Maritime Museum . Occupational I am the director of a culture Promotion Office in Gdansk, where I organize concerts and make arrangements mainly in Poland but also abroad.
Your's sincerly
