Dear Madame,
I would like to ask your help in the distribution of our call for participation.
Pecs will be in 2010 the European Capital of Culture, and the city will build a whole cultural season for this theme. Our project is a palatial art project. Part of this program is a creative competition, what we would like to bring into effect among others, together with romanian/serb/ croatian/ bosnian artists.
I would like to ask you to help me, to advertise the attached public tender so that every inquisitive artist could hear from it.
Thank you everything in advance.
Best regards,
Monika Kiss
