Schedule a Slide Show / Art Discussion

If you are interested in scheduling a slide presentation in your classroom or school please send me an e-mail. I have a collection of over 500 slides of local, national and international mural projects. Please allow at last two weeks notice. Please specify which of the five topics you would like discussed. I have given slide shows in nearly 8 dozen locations over the past 18 years. My 1/2 hour rate is $75 or $125 / hour. I have worked with students ranging in age from 3 years to 16 years. I have a slide projector or we can use your standard Kodak slide projector and I can bring in a pre-loaded carousel. For distance over 1 hours drive time there may be additional travel fees.
