I received the following email this morning from someone else in the fine-arts field, regarding a “Kenya Wildlife Art Field Study & Retreat” for June 2009 that Christopher Gervais is listing on his website:
“I contacted Kuki Gallmann to let them know about his [Gervais’] collecting $400 for the retreat he is sponsoring. This is the email I received back:
Thank you for this info:Wow!!
He is actually doing no Artist Retreat with us at all, although he attempted to!!Thank you again for warning us!
warm regards
Kuki Gallmann
From Kenya.”
So - as with prior posts on this topic, forewarned is forearmed.
To learn more about the Gallman Memorial Foundation and its conservation work in Kenya - as well as the fires set by poachers on the reserve two months ago - please visit www.gallmannkenya.org. (The arson story is under their “News & Events” link).

I wonder if Western and Wildlife Art Magazine will do a story on this (entitled “Gall of the Wild”, of course)
It would probably be a big hit and generate a lot of new subscriptions.

He [Gervais] certainly has a lot of gall ;o)

A fellow artist alerted me to a major event regarding this crook. I don’t know why this happened, but I tend to believe it had something to do with all the complaints filed against him - in any event - I’m glad he’s out of business (for now). If he starts up again next year - I’ll be one of the FIRST to see to it that others are informed of his business practices.
