Coming soon to the offices of LtdEditionPrints.com is the addition of an art gallery and book shop. One of the best things about striking out on ones own is the collaborations that can be built with our many friends and acquaintances. With the Internet partnerships can be developed across the globe to access the finest in art and information. LtdPrints.com functions as an art agency locating specific art for the hospitality industry, corporate and public locations as well as individuals looking for custom prints and custom murals for their homes. For instance, our aircraft posters and custom aircraft murals are often used as airport wall decor.
To broaden our scope we have partnered with local artists to open an art gallery and book shop within our production location. If you are an artist, photographer, crafter, fabric artist living within the Northern Shenandoah Valley we welcome your application for space. Fees and membership information will be posted soon. In the mean time take a look at our floor plan. Email Marcy@ltdprints.com or call 888-273-8411 or from 8 AM until 6 PM if you would like to apply as an artist or author.
If you would like to showcase your photography through our online gallery please contact Marcy@LtdPrints.com for further information.

Dear Marcy and LtdPrints.com staff:
In response to your announcement of a forthcoming gallery, I wanted to introduce myself to you. I recently moved to Strasburg and currently live just down the road from your offices. I have noticed your office on several occassions and made a note to learn more about your business.
It is possible that my combined skills as a professional fine artist, poet and experience in art gallery procedures and art installation may be beneficial in connection to your plan to open an art gallery.
My name is Linda L. Anderson. I have established my art studio here in Strasburg and I love my new community. Moreover, I am interested in initiating a collaborative relationship with a business such as the one that you have established. In addition to possible representation by LtdPrint.com, I am interested in exploring the possibility of employment with your company in connection with your gallery operation and installation design.
I have much to offer that would assist with the success of opening your gallery and attracting the best artists and writers in the region.
I am including my resume, following this correspondance, with the hope that my artistic accomplishments and professional experience will be of benefit to you. I have also provided a link to my artist’s website to allow you an overview of my works.
The totality of the services and vision that LtdPrints.com plans to offer is exciting. I welcome any proposal to contribute my creative vision and expertise in the spirit of continuing to build a creative, business community in Strasburg and the surrounding areas.
Coordially,
Linda L. Anderson, M.F.A.
