* Plans for first annual catalog of the Our Voices project:
Our Voices hopes to produce a limited edition, self-published booklet which will feature a selection of images by each of
the current students, plus work from previous students. It will also contain historical information documenting the development
of the Our Voices program. We hope to have it published in time for the opening of our show in Athens at ATHICA in January
2006. It is the goal of this publication serve as a catalog of the work and exhibitions of the Our Voices project. Each student
will get copies of this booklet to keep for themselves, and to share with family & friends. We also intend to produce
extra copies for sale to help support the continuation of the Our Voices project. Stay tuned.
