To the Southern California Printmaking Community: Patrick Merrill, master printmaker, curator, teacher and friend of the printmaking community is in the hospital dying of colon cancer. I am writing this as President of the Los Angeles Printmaking Society. It was Patrick's wish to donate his studio and all of its contents to our organization. However, we are not in a fiduciary or managerial position to accept this offer. If you are in a position to take over his studio located in Covina, CA for $800 a month, let me know. If you are or belong to a non-profit entity who would appreciate having this donated to your organization in his name, let me know this. This is an excellent opportunity for printmakers to come together to form a cooperative printmaking space convenient to Los Angeles and to several other areas. So, students and other printmakers, give this some thought. It's an excellent opportunity for you to have a place to print after graduation. I will attach the details of the studio. Please let me know of your interest and/or ideas. Thank you, Diane McLeod (562) 596-7986, (562) 786-9194 (cell) macdiart@Adelphia.net.
