ME'D1.ATE Partners with The LAB
Venerable Art Institution's Fiscal Sponsorship Opens ME'D1.ATE to New Opportunities of Support


(SAN FRANCISCO -September 09, 2007)
ME'D1.ATE Network has partnered with The LAB, San Francisco's leading art institution supporting new visual, performing, media and literary art since 1984. They have earned a reputation as one of the foremost presenters of experimental art in the country and showcasing some of the most important work of today's emerging experimental artists. Check out www.thelab.org

The LAB, a registered 501(c)3 non-profit, will act as ME'D1.ATE's Fiscal Sponsor which means a huge change for our little organization: Supporters will now be able to send donations (monetary and equipment) that are TAX-DEDUCTIBLE to ME'D1.ATE. There is no better time to donate as we prepare for our third season of the Soundwave>Series and needing to raise an additional $10,000 to help finance the performing artists and production. Save money on taxes by donating to ME'D1.ATE and receive ME'D1.ATE gifts as our way or saying thank you! Details at www.me-di-ate.net/donate.html

Send checks payable to THE LAB with the memo line: ME'D1.ATE to ME'D1.ATE NETWORK, P.O. Box 170305, San Francisco, CA 94117-0305 or donate online below:
