To our artist friends,
We are pleased to inform you that
United Indians of all Tribes Foundation has secured a rare opportunity for
Northwest Native artists and craftspeople to market their products with the
United Indians brand name at a new shop within the SeaTac International
Airport. We are interested in marketing authentic hand made Native artworks, as
well as reviewing Native designs that could be developed into manufactured
products. In the case of designs that might be selected for manufacturing a
licensing agreement can be arranged between United Indians and the artisan. We
are writing to encourage you to consider submitting your artwork for possible
selection and inclusion in the shop.
If you wish to have your work
reviewed for selection please send your contact information and samples to
Audrey Gray-May at United Indians at PO Box 99100, Seattle, WA 98139 or 3801
West Government Way, Seattle, WA 98199, by March 4, 2004. United Indians is
working under strict time constraints, therefore it is crucial that we are in
receipt of your submissions by March 4th. Ms. Gray-May will provide you with a
receipt for the items submitted. She will also notify each artist once United
Indians has completed the selection process. If submissions are not selected,
items can be picked up from United Indians anytime after March 28, 2004.
Products sold in the SeaTac
International Airport will be priced very competitively. Along with your
contact information, please identify the wholesale price at which you can
afford to sell your product and make certain it is attached to any items sent
to United Indians. Please be advised that pricing must be negotiable.
Should you have any questions on
this opportunity please contact Ms. Gray-May at (206) 285-4425 extension 33. We
look forward to working with our community’s artists and craftspeople on
this opportunity to showcase and market Northwest Native products.
Sincerely,
Michelle Sanidad
Chief Executive Officer
