Dear Artist,

RE: MONTEGO BAY’S 1ST INTERNATIONAL FINE ARTS FESTIVAL!

In addition to showcasing your work to a large audience including tourists and Jamaicans returning for Christmas on the island, there will be a number of informative forums providing guidance and advice on subjects ranging from artist development to sound financial management.

A fact sheet is attached which includes details of your participation, along with a registration form for your completion and return.

Please contact the undersigned at your earliest convenience, to confirm your participation. Thank you in advance for playing an important role in the further development of the fine arts and making this event a permanent fixture on the international arts calendar.
