Calendar Signing with Dahlov Ipcar Saturday
GEORGETOWN — GHS is very fortunate to have Dahlov Ipcar visit GHS on July 26 between 2 and 4 PM to sign copies of her wonderfully illustrated 2015 Poster Calendar.
Dahlov Ipcar’s cats leap onto the wall with this new calendar featuring 12 separate months of stunning images. From the backyard to the barnyard to the jungle, Ipcar’s Cats 2015 Poster Calendar culls illustrations from several of Ipcar’s bestselling books in a bold format that is both beautiful and useful.
Each page of the poster calendar may be hung or framed separately, or displayed together as a single year. And once the year is over, the images will continue to enhance any wall simply by removing the calendar band at the bottom. Now you can enjoy this wonderful artist’s work all the time, whether you are already a fan or a devoted cat lover. Plus, we have all her reissued books available for purchase
The holidays are not exactly right around the corner, but it’s never to early to start thinking about your gift list. This special calendar will make a great present for yourself as well as friends and family. However many you purchase, Dahlov will be happy to sign them for you.
All proceeds from the calendar sale will benefit GHS.
