<b>The Project:</b></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #b45f06;">
Long time residents (aged 18 and older) of the Greater Philadelphia area are invited to participate in this project. The participants agree to pose for their own portraits for a certain number of hours (between 5-15 hours, to be determined by the artist and the individual participant). The portraits will be done in black and white drawing/painting medium. Upon completion of the project (December 2012), the participants can keep their own portraits. The portraits will also be exhibited.</div>
<div style="color: #b45f06;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #b45f06;">
The purpose of the project is to reflect and promote tolerance for racial diversity in the population of the Philadelphia region. </div>

<b>What to Expect:</b></div>
<div style="color: #b45f06;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #b45f06;">
* Participants are asked to commit between 5 to 15 hours of their time in posing. The posing time is determined by the individual participant's availability and the artist's assessment on whether or not the time allowed is sufficient in completing the portrait satisfactorily. </div>
<div style="color: #b45f06;">
</div>
<div style="color: #b45f06;">
* Participants understand and are in agreement with the purpose of this project.</div>
<div style="color: #b45f06;">
<br />
* Participants agree to their images being used to promote the exhibition and their portraits being exhibited. They will need to sign a waiver.<br />
<br />
* After the portrait is completed, if the participant decides to keep the portrait, he/she will be responsible for framing the portrait. If the participant chooses not to keep the portrait, the artist will keep and be responsible for framing the portrait. The artist can still choose to exhibit the portrait. </div>
