Big thank you to Susanna Blue for thinking of us! We are developing (unavoidable pun) a darkroom at the Artspace for film photography and printing. Susanna and her husband donated this solid old Beseler enlarger to us yesterday. It works just fine, and with a little clean-up, it will be a beautiful addition!
Hope everyone is having an amazing love weekend! We appreciate all the support all of followers and supporters give us every day!
If you need a last minute gift, we have prints of this lovely print available as a thank you gift for your donation of $50 or more!

Delaware Public News interviewed Jester Artspace President, Alan Baseden, this week as well as multiple contacts at New Castle County involved with the farmhouse restoration and park rehabilitation projects. The well thought out article was published this afternoon:

When I first designed our Twelve Days linocut prints, I only pulled a few prints of the total run of 20 for a few donors. Today, the rest of the run is dry! Once they are given away to our donors, I won't print these linocuts ever again. They are high-quality hand pulled prints using Cranfield inks on Rives BFK paper, and they will be signed and editioned. If you want one, email us at jesterartspace@gmail.com. I suggest a $100 donation to Jester Artspace (its deductible, we're a nonprofit), but we never like to let money get in the way of art for people who are struggling (its 2020 after all). We are happy to take what you can give.

💕 these! They would make excellent Christmas cards!?
I donated yesterday😊
Big thank you to all the volunteers who came out today to help move the reclaimed wood for safe keeping. We're making progress!
Have you ordered your holiday cards yet? How about some handmade linocut cards for an extra special touch? Order yours here: www.jesterartspace.org/help-jester-artspace/holiday-cards/
We still need a few more able-bodied folks to sign up to help us on Saturday at noon! The County's contractor has left some joists and boards on the site for us to reuse as we can for our part of the restoration. We just need some help tossing them into a truck to take off to storage. It would be a shame to see them get hauled to the dump because we couldn't round up some help! Sign up here: www.jesterartspace.org/farmhouse-volunteer-form
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: Next Saturday 12/12 at noon (2818 Grubb Rd) we will need some able-bodied helpers to come and haul off about 2 dozen 15-ft joists to storage. Now that the newer wing of the house has been pulled down we need to salvage these original items for the rebuild. Sign up here: www.jesterartspace.org/farmhouse-volunteer-form
Also, looking for a gift for someone? We will be giving away matted linocut prints by Alan and Debra to our volunteers! See comments for images.
