   • Dear fellow artisans, If you know of any one displaced by Katrina who
     would be interested in the following, please pass it along to them. Aug.1, 2005
     . I am a well known artist/designer who heads an artists co-op in Pittsburgh pa.
     I have living and work/studio space available that would be perfect for an
     artist(s) and family trying to recover from Katrina and be able to
     start/continue their work again . We are able to take people for up to 6 months.
     Our specialty is geared towards costume/fibrearts/theatre/music so we have lots
     of equipment/space here. We also have computers and office space, as we run a
     website for our art. (You can see some of our work at www.IBelieveinfaeries.com)
     We have 3 bedrooms open in the same building as the work space. We are also pet
     friendly. Please feel free to contact us even if you think maybe we are full, as
     I am contacting others in the arts community here to find more space. I can also
     help arrange the transportation. Our phone #is 412-242-8837 or 412-401-8232. My
     email is animal@ibelieveinfaeries.com Please pass this along. I am sure there is
     somebody who is a perfect match to what we can offer. Blessings and prayers,
     Animal X, DreamWeaver productions

   • Thank you for letting us know. New Orleans is my home town; though, I no longer reside there. I am in Alabama and I am almost finished with my facility which will be available to share with other artists in the Eterprise, Ft. Rucker, Alabama area. More to be announced when it is completed. This will be on a Space-A basis and can be rotated. There will be no fees.

     I appreciate your creative alternatives. Is there a fee for this? I will check out your site for further info. There are hundreds of costume artists in Louisiana, Mississippi, Mobile and the surrounding Gulf Coast. They have all been displaced and put out of work. Many will need a fresh start.

     My family lives in New Orleans. They are safe and out of harm's way. They are the fortunate ones. My heart goes out to others who are less fortunate.

     Thank You.
