Dear Friend of Visual Music,
Center for Visual Music is celebrating its 5-year anniversary and
beginning our new Membership Campaign. Our supporters and Members
help make possible the success of our programs, exhibitions, preservation
projects, and Research Center. Please join us to help preserve and
promote Visual Music.
CVM is preserving a significant body of at-risk Visual Music films
by Oskar Fischinger, Jordan Belson, Charles Dockum and many others.
Our recent Fischinger and Belson DVDs have made their films more accessible
to worldwide audiences, and our curated traveling programs screen
historical and contemporary visual music work to audiences on three
continents. Scholars, artists, educators, curators and institutions
worldwide benefit from our Research Library and The William Moritz
Archive.
CVM appreciates our Members' commitment and support. Welcome to CVM!
Best regards,
Cindy Keefer
Director
