<br>
Dear Friends;<br>
<br>
Since 2000, Independent Arts & Media has strengthened public
dialogue by increasing access to independent voices.<br>
<br>
This week, we'd like to let you know about two great, independent
programs that Indy Arts is honored to support. See the end of this
email for full details on these and other programs:<br>
<br>
-- Renowned film archivist<b> Rick
Prelinger</b> comes to Shaping<br>
San Francisco's Fall Talks
program TONIGHT. We are<br>
honored to be co-producers
of the Talks series.<br>
<br>
--<b> Madhappys</b>, San Francisco's
original, free comix-art<br>
newspaper, just published
its thirteenth issue. Madhappys is<br>
an independent project that
is fiscally sponsored by Indy Arts.<br>
<br>
SUPPORTING INDEPENDENT CULTURE & COMMUNITY</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000">We founded Indy Arts because we were tired
of waiting for large corporations to produce media and culture that's
relevant to our lives ... because a steady diet of "infotainment"
can't sustain the kind of civic dialogue and creative vitality that
our democracy needs.</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000"><br></font></div>
<div><font color="#000000">If the mainstream isn't good enough, we'll
do it ourselves!<br>
<br>
Powered by volunteers and lots of love, Indy Arts has staged dozens of
free workshops and speaker events, produced the annual Expo for the
Artist & Musician for seven years and counting, and has published
more than 50 original articles on Newsdesk.org and 260 issues of the
free weekly newsletter News You Might Have Missed.<br>
<br>
We've also provided support and sponsorship to 11 media, arts and
dialogue projects, and this past fall debuted The Messenger, a free
newspaper dedicated to independent culture and community.<br>
<br>
INDY ARTS NEEDS YOU!</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000">All this productivity, and our annual
budget covers little more than rent and utilities. That's why your
help is so important. Your donations of $25, $50, $100, $500 or more
will keep Indy Arts alive -- and help us grow. Details on how to make
a tax-deductible donation are at the end of this email -- or just
click through to our secure online donor page:</font></div>

<br>
Thanks so much for your support of independent culture and
community!<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>
The Indy Arts Staff & Volunteers<br>
