Dear Ar st:
Great news! You have been chosen to par cipate in Resonance’s Stacked Deck 2013
art sale and fundraiser Thursday, November 7, 2013. An arts‐loving commi ee has
named you as one of Oklahoma’s crea ve geniuses, and we are pleased to invite you to
show your work alongside other talented and eclec c ar sans.
This is NOT your typical silent auc on fundraiser! Resonance’s Stacked Deck event,
celebra ng its second year, is building upon last year’s success in several significant
ways:
 LIVING ARTS, in the heart of the Arts District, is the NEW site of Stacked Deck, a
vibrant, trendy venue in which your work will POP!
 Expanded range of art, including ceramics, sculpture, wearable art, photographs,
and pain ngs will en ce addi onal buyers!
 All artwork will be available for sale, gallery‐style (not silent auc on)!
 Interac ve art experiences and inspiring demonstra ons en cing patrons to stay,
play, and purchase!
Since 1977, Resonance has been a special place for women and their families. Our
programs have varied over me to meet changing community needs, but we have
always focused on suppor ng and helping the women of Tulsa through tough mes.
We now focus our efforts on women and their families struggling with substance abuse
and incarcera on (Oklahoma ranks #1 in incarcera ng women). For these women their
world can seem like a house of cards. Our mission at Resonance is to stack the deck in
their favor, helping them change… for good. As these women change, their families
change and our community changes.
You may know Resonance through our Art for the Soul events in past years, because we
have always been commi ed to the arts and to the emergence and personal growth of
ar sts in our community. Stacked Deck 2013 con nues that tradi on of fostering fine
talent.
As a Contribu ng Ar st, you will reap these benefits:
 The op on of earning 50% of the selling price of your work
 Opportunity to win two $500.00 awards
 Publicity and recogni on in social media and print
 Ticket to Stacked Deck 2013

2. We request original art of the following types: oil, water, acrylic and pastel
pain ngs; three‐dimensional sculptures; jewelry; po ery and photographs. We
kindly request the framing of all pain ngs and photographs prior to submission.
Your flat art must be ready to hang (D‐rings, wire, etc.)
You will set your price for your work. Because one of our main goals is to sell your art,
we encourage you to keep sales in mind when pricing your work for this event. A
certain theme is not required, but if you so choose, we’d love to have you e in to the
strength of women and a heart for community, two of Resonance’s core mission
values. We will present The Judge’s Award based on mission interpreta on. We have
lots of space; larger items are encouraged.
Please accept our invita on! We need to hear from you by July 1st
, 2013 so that we
can begin to publicize your par cipa on as soon as possible. Simply email your “yes, I

instruc ons for registering your art. If unable to par cipate, please e‐mail “no, thanks”
to stackeddeck@resonancetulsa.org so that we won’t clog your e‐mail with follow‐up
requests.
Your par cipa on will validate to the community what makes Tulsa uniquely special.
Vibrant downtown events …. art sales featuring the talents of Oklahoma’s own … and
a community passion to help the underserved.
We look forward to partnering with you!
