Connecting Artisits to benefit the Great Lakes
Diane Mahn, an artist
from Madeline Island,
Wisconsin never goes
anywhere without a
trash sack. And the Lake
Superior beaches in her
area are the better for it.
"I have actually been
picking up trash on ALL
of the islands beaches
(and roads and other
places) for years.
But that is not all that
Diane Mahn has been
doing. As an artist, her
appreciation of the
Great Lakes can be seen
in her art, such as
"Down the Drain." She is also the founder of a group of artists
known as PASS Arts (Political ARTivits Serving Society) in
which artists use their art to benefit social, political and
environmental causes.
"The Great Lakes are very special to me, and saving and
protecting them are my personal crusade."
Diane Mahn has generously donated the use of "Down the
Drain" to GLAHNF. You too can enjoy this beautiful art in the
form of notecards. To purchase the notecards, Green Earth
Greetings will print them and send them to you. The Great
Lakes Aquatic Network and Fund will receive a portion of the
proceeds.
Photographer Steven
Huyser-Honig is enthralled
with the beauty of the
Great Lakes region and
devoted to helping
preserve it for future
generations. Every time
someone purchases one
of his fine art prints, Steve
contributes 10% to an
organization working to
preserve the lighthouses,
land, and water resources
of the Great Lakes region.
The Great Lakes Aquatic
Habitat Network and
Fund (GLAHNF) is one of four nonprofits Steve supports. So
we'd normally get a quarter of his "tithe" on each purchase.
As a benefit to fellow GLAHNF supporters, he's offering a
special promotion that will
- greatly multiply the power of your purchase to benefit GLAHNF, and
- let you own a beautiful print for less!
From now through September 30, whenever you enter the
promotional code “GLAHNF” at checkout, two nice things will
happen. Steve will double his usual contribution to 20%... and
designate it exclusively to the Great Lakes Aquatic Habitat
Network and Fund. And as an extra benefit, you will receive a
10% discount on your purchase.
To see more of Steve's work, make a purchase, and support
