In celebration of Alan’s 80th birthday, IPM is publishing a book of photographic highlights from his vast collection. Alan’s colorful stories of the lives of the represented North American puppeteers, as well as historical details of each figure, will accompany the photographs. A brief background on the collection’s history and future will also be included. With quality photographs, this first-class publication will be a book every puppeteer will want to own.
To produce a quality publication, we will need the services of a professional photographer, an editor, a layout artist, plus a firm to print and bind the book. This require funds which IPM does not have available. And so we are asking for your financial help.
We have been offered matching grant for the first $1,000.00 in donations made within the next four months. Make your donation really count by filling out the pledge on the left. Your contribution will therefore be doubled!
Your pledge will ensure Alan’s life-long devotion to preserving our heritage is treasured by puppeteers everywhere. There could be no finer tribute than helping to make his collection a resource to the entire puppet world.
