About the Butterfly Project:
The Butterfly Project at the Holocaust Museum Houston is seeking 1.5 million butterflies for an installation honoring the 1.5 million children who perished in the Holocaust. The butterflies will eventually comprise a breath-taking exhibition, currently scheduled for Spring 2012, for all to remember. All Butterfly entries will be contributed to the museum.
Additionally, AMACO will be accepting butterflies made up of any medium and will forward them to the Butterfly Project for you, provided that they are brought to the CHA show.
Even if you have never entered a challenge like this...what have you got to lose? Your work will be on display for magazine editors, manufacturers and a host of others related to the craft industry. It is a great opportunity for you to get your work noticed and get some exposure...and it's free! So, please think seriously about his challenge. Everyone is a winner!
