Within the human spirit is a spark - a spark that is meant to be expressed.   Some do so through the creativity of teaching, others through the art of   medicine. Many find a very strong pull to communicate that spark through the   performing and visual arts. However, life often gets in the way of this pursuit,   and many talented artists are unable to pursue their goals and develop their   talents because of family commitments or financial limitations.     There is an organization that assists these developing artists in need. The John E. Profant Foundation for the Arts provides scholarships, funding for art   education and performing and exhibition venues to artists, regardless of age..   I urge you to support this unique organization. Join them... and experience   first hand what they are doing for artists and the community.     Sincerely,   Ricardo Montalban
