16 April 87 Dinah Godwin 1540 Sul Ross Houston, Texas 77006 Dear Ms. Godwin, Thank you for responding so promptly to my initial call for help! As I said in our phone conversation, I am eager to establish a tax exempt organization and become eli- gible for appropriate and available funding. I would like to create and offer programs which will help fill certain voids in Houston's arts community: provide workshop/studio space for Black women artists create a library and resource center perti- nent to contemporary Black women artists and the art of their predecessors establish a forum for Black women artists to share their knowledge and understanding with the general public provide classes for students of various ages to encourage their creativity and appreciation for the creative process, lessons in creative thinking/problem-solving I welcome your assistance and look forward to com- municating with you or someone else from the T.A.L.A. as we work through this process together. Sincerely,
