This is Greg Decker, professional artist (painter) whom many of you know.

Recently completed a training session with publicAccess television here in Nashville, NECAT, in conjunction with Nashville Public Library.

I am very dedicated to beginning a regular show for children (ages 6-9)

in ARTS appreciation: painting, poetry, classical music. So much art appreciation is lacking in our elementary schools, and it is SO important for children to be exposed to quality arts, which they don't get on noisy and

ephemeral social media (often for commercial purposes).

This will include humorous monologues, a lot of information about artists of all countries, from classical to contemporary, painting and drawing demos, interviews with professionals of all types, and visual examples (large pictures of paintings) from which to learn. Some life-lessons will be discussed, all in a positive and reaffirming way. I will be inviting children to send me their drawings, poems, observations.

The shows will air on local publicAccess television, care of NECAT and Comcast Television, as well as youTube. Targeted for homeSchool, urban

and rural children and their families.

Content will be informative, positive, and non-political.

My expenses will be 90% for payment of a professional videographer and editor, who will work with me through the duration of this project. I would

like to produce TEN half-hour segments, with plans to expand to THIRTY of these half-hour segments.

I am asking for $25 from each of you to SUPPORT TENNESSEE ARTS

for children! Greg Decker, professional artist

(and alumni faculty of Lincoln Center Institute in NYC, MoMA and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, as well as Belmont University in Nashville.)

Thanks so much for your time and donation!

"Mr. Greg"
