“I truly cannot tell you how much good buzz we get surrounding this show - all of the city hall staff would stop and tell us, while we were doing the installation, how this is one of the things to which they look forward each year. I have had no less than 5 employees or their family members state that this show in particular was the impetus they needed to get back into being creative - many had put aside their art while raising children, changing careers, etc. And two gals, specifically, have decided to launch photography careers due to the great response they received from the public about their submitted pieces. All in all, I couldn't hope for more from this program and am thrilled that you want us to continue it next year!!!”
