DAVET MEKTUBU
My name is Joseph Lillis and I am the Executive Director of the internationally
recognized, award-winning Sausalito Art Festival and one of the first juried fine
art festivals in the nation. The Sausalito Art Festival is held annually in Sausalito,
California and has gained national recognition as the number one outdoor fine
art festival in the nation and is considered one of the "best" and "most prestigious"
fine art festivals in the United States by both artists and collectors worldwide.
Over one million visitors from around the world have experienced the Sausalito
Art Festival since its inaugural in 1952. The Festival showcases the world's
finest art and crafts, as well as performing and culinary arts. Each year, a
jury of award-winning artists views the work of 1,200 qualified applicants to
select the best 270 Artists from throughout the world to exhibit in the Festival.
From functional to surreal, witty to the elegantly decorative, these one-of-a-kind
and limited edition Art Works form an unparalleled collection that can only be
seen once a year.
Because of my active role at the Sausalito Art Festival, I am constantly on the
lookout for extraordinary contemporary artists who have achieved worldwide success
for their innovative work. It is in this capacity that I first came to recognize
the work of Gulten Imamoglu of Turkey, who is at the height of the contemporary
art scene. Ms. ImamogluÃs work was selected from among thousands of qualified
and highly talented artists globally for showcasing in this yearÃs Sausalito Art
Festival. Her work represents an entirely new artistic perspective to our well-cultivated
festival. I am pleased to invite Ms. Imamoglu to participate in the 2005 Sausalito
Art Festival.
Ms. Imamoglu is an extraordinary artist of the highest caliber and she is strongly
committed to her work. For these reasons and without reservation, I enthusiastically
recommend her for a visa as an artist of extraordinary ability.
Sincerely,
Joseph Lillis
Executive Director
SAUSALITO ART FESTIVAL
