Dear Cynthia,
Is it open to locals only, or international artists are welcome too?
I would be interested in a project like this.

I emailed him as he is in my state and he is trying to arrange it so that there is $100 available to each artist to cover the cost of shipping and materials. If you are willing to do it with that amount Marcus, Im sure they'd be happy to have you participate.

This to me seems like a worthwhile cause and good idea. I would be happy to participate.
I have but a few questions. If my math is correct he is talking like 600 portraits and probably more. Am I correct? Are all the families to receive a portrait? What happens if not all receive a portrait? 600 + portraits is a lot to ask for and still not enough to compensate a families loss. A $100 is a lot for some but for others mite not be enough to cover the costs. Is this but an idea to see if there is artist response?

Mischa, I dont think anyone here has the answers - you'll have to email the address Cynthia posted.
Here is the email I received...when I get the press release I can post it.
Kim,
It's wonderful to hear from you, and your interest in our new project.
I'll be sending you a copy of my revised letter/press release, in my next e-mail
to you.
At present, I'm working with Fort Hood officials from the Family Support office,
which will help us get our offer to the families.
I will be speaking to out Mayor on March 7th, on the local City Channel, about Op.
GN, and will seek local funding for the artists supply and painting shipping
costs.
Do you think $100.00 would cover supplies and shipping for one portrait ?
On a personal note, I grew up around Corpus and Flour Bluff, as I am the son of an
Army Aviation(Ret.) Dad, attached to the Naval Base their, back in the late 60's.
All the Best, Rudy C.
