One aspect of the Timeraiser is to work with local companies to purchase artwork at fair market value as Purchase viagra online Viagra alternatives a way to engage the business community in the local arts scene.

Jeff Tessier, Lyric Theatre

“As a participating artist I had the opportunity to display my work to people who would not otherwise see it and meet people in my community who were both civic-minded and engaged in the arts. This was a real pleasure. Viagra levitra Viagra sale Over the counter viagra  Best of all, perhaps, is that the exposure I had through Timeraiser led to several paid jobs.  I wasn’t expecting anything beyond what happened the night of the event, but I learned later that people who had seen my work Levitra prix pharmacie that night liked it enough that they wanted to take me on for other photographic work in a more commercial context.  This development indicated for me just how effectively the Timeraiser process works, for all parties involved.” Jeff Tessier, 2009 Hamilton Timeraiser Artist
