Greetings and salutations Sapience!

The Ivory Institute for Fine Art is now open and fully operational! So
why not pop on down and check out what everyone who's anyone is talking
about! The helpful scroll entitled 'CLHELP IIFA' contains directions.

But the project is not yet complete ...

Ever wanted to be a professional artist but never known how?

Well now is your chance!

The I.I.F.A. has opened its door to all you aspiring artists out there!

To apply, simply visit our Gallery in the Mhaldorian sub-division and
get a feel for our methodology. Then create a work of art in a similar
manor to how we practice, jot a description of it down on a letter and
send it to me, the Galley Manager. Be sure to include the title of the
piece at the top of the letter, along with your name at the bottom.

If your work passes the grade (and I assure you we will not be letting
any old ruffian in) then you will be granted membership to one of the
grandest artistic experiments in the post Seleucarian age. Never before
has so much creative power been on offer to the humble mortal.
Appreciate this, for it is a special thing indeed.

Mayhap you are not of the artistic persuasion, but are non the less an
avid connoisseur and affluent champion of high culture? Never fear, the
Institute has a place for you! We are in desperate need of funds. So if
you wish to become an official patron and assist us fiscally, then
simply contact me and we can arrange a meeting.

Of course, if you wish to simply assist us with single donations then
you are more than welcome. Simply visit Mhaldor's bank to make your
generous deposit. Your help will ensure the continuation of this
culturally important project for many years to come.

Even if none of the above applies to you, why not still come visit the
Ivory Institute for Fine Art? I guarantee that you will not be
disappointed!

Best wishes,

Cardinal Lodi Coldraven Ta'sa
