Modern Wife Exhibition

Filed under: Elections — irishelectionliterature @ 12:52 pm

This exhibition will be held at the National Print Museum of Ireland  between August and October 2015, is currently being crowdfunded and is quite close to reaching the target.
The curator Ciara Meehan notes that “with four days left, I’m anxious to ensure that I do everything possible to make sure I hit the target (otherwise money thus far donated is refunded back to the donors). You might have noticed, that the top tier reward for a donation of €150 is a framed display of the donor’s choice once the exhibition has ended. I’m willing to offer one of these displays for the reduced price of €50. I’ve attached two mock-ups.

If so, the instructions would be as follows: to claim the special offer, simply by-pass the standard reward levels on Fund:It and enter €50 in the ‘define your own amount’ box. That person should then comment on the blog post so that they can be identified as having claimed the offer. Here’s the link to Fund:It http://fundit.ie/project/modern-wife-modern-life-exhibition and to the exhibition website for further information: http://modernwifemodernlifeexhibition.com “
