Steve Keller and Associates, Inc. a security consulting firm specializing in
museums and cultural properties, is pleased to announce that they have been
designated "Sponsors" of the Orlando Museum of Art and the "Imperial Tombs of
China" exhibition at the Orlando Museum of Art.  Sponsor status is conferred
when a firm or individual donates in excess of $25,000. The sponsor's name is
engraved on the permanent marble donor wall.

Recognizing that the museum would have difficulty qualifying for major
traveling exhibits without improved security, but also realizing that the
museum could not afford the costs of a security upgrade without major
support, Steve Keller offered to donate design services and project
management during the museum's recent expansion and renovation project.

"Orlando is a great city but our claim to fame is sun and theme parks. Fine
art and culture is in short supply. We realized that if we were to attract
world class art we would have to take a proactive stance to help make it
happen," said Keller, a suburban Orlando resident.

Keller and Associates also donated services on security and crowd control
preparations for the Imperial Tombs of China exhibit which opened May 2 in
the newly renovated and enlarged museum.

Steve Keller said that it is not appropriate to always stand by and expect
major firms like Disney and SunBank to fund all arts programs. "We make our
living from our museum clients and we were overdue in returning to the art
community some of what we have received in the past. Small firms and
individuals can make a difference and should take a proactive approach to
museum support."

Steve Keller and Associates, Inc. has helped other museums in the past but
not to this degree. "We hope to continue to do what we can in the future at
the Orlando Museum of Art and elsewhere."
