CHIiti1P PATRONS <br />As a civic -minded patron of the arts, you can join in the fun and increase tourism to our <br />area by buying a CHIMP and sponsoring its artist and display in the event. Private <br />individuals, corporations, charities and organizations may purchase the chimps. <br />(At the end of the event the chimp becomes the property of the Potawatomi Zoological <br />Society and will be donated to the closing charity auction. The Potawatomi Zoological <br />Society is a 501-(c) —3 charitable organization as defined by the Internal Revenue Service. <br />Net funds generated by the sale of their chimp at auction will be considered to be the patron's <br />tax deductible donation in addition to the initial cost of the chimp sponsorship.) <br />An auction brochure with detailed information will be available in the near future. <br />CHOICE OF CREATIVE AGENT <br />Artists, architects, photographers, graphic designers and others (hereafter referred to as <br />"Creative Agents") will be commissioned by the Celebrate Chimps committee to design and <br />paint/sculpt/decorate the chimps. The Celebrate Chimps Committee pool will consist of <br />local and regional artists. The pool will have applicants ranging from young and emerging to <br />distinguished and celebrated representatives of our community. Creative Agents chosen <br />from the Celebrate Chimps Committee pool must be paid a minimum of $500.00 by the <br />Patron to help defray expenses incurred in fulfilling the proposal. <br />If the Patron does not choose a design from the Celebrate Chimps Artist pool, the Patron <br />may supply a Creative Agent and design of their own choosing. All designs must be <br />submitted to the Celebrate Chimps Committee for approval in advance. It will be the <br />responsibility of the Patron to negotiate a fee and pay their Creative Agent. However, all <br />Creative agents must enter into the Creative agent contract with the Celebrate Chimps <br />Committee. <br />(Included with all sponsorships of proposals from the Celebrate Chimps' creative agent <br />pool, are the costs of the decoration, local delivery and pick up from creative agent <br />studio (see Terms of Agreement for limitations), ground plate, normal installation and <br />deinstallation and delivery to the charity auction after the closing of the event. <br />For all sponsorships, the costs of the identifying plaque, inclusion on the event, <br />map/brochure and website (provided that all pertinent deadlines are met), and liability <br />insurance are included. <br />CHOICE AND LOCATION AND PLACEMENT <br />The placement and installation of the chimps on ground plates will be implemented by the <br />Celebrate Chimps Committee. Specific locations may be requested by Patrons. If a location <br />request is not on the public right-of-way but is on private property or on a landscaped <br />parkway, the Patron must negotiate approval with the appropriate authority and provide a <br />contact name and telephone number. Due consideration will be given to all Patron location <br />requests; however, exhibition management will determine the final location. <br />
