To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing from the MIT List Visual Arts Center, the contemporary museum at MIT, to
indicate interest in displaying banners on Ames Street, where this List Center is located,
in order to promote our upcoming exhibition Heimo Zobernig: chess painting.
The design of the banners is in keeping with the List Center's logo and design
standards. Every other banner has our logo, our name, and the exhibition title in blue,
black, and white. The remaining banners have a checkerboard pattern with our name in
blue at the bottom. This design ties into the title of the exhibition "chess painting."
Enclosed please find detailed mock ups of the banners including a rendering of them on
Ames Street. We thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely yours,
Betsy Willett
