Testimonials

"THANK YOU! I just experienced the best 3 weeks of my life and that's in large part thanks to you. I don't even know where to start or what to say or how to even thank you adequately (well, I can't, I suppose). It's so hard to encapsulate the last few weeks for anyone…you gave me the best three weeks of my life, so thanks."

    —Megan Whittaker, 2007 Sculpture Student

"I had a great time! The program was really nice, I enjoyed myself a lot. I loved the teacher…I see your vision for the program, and wish you all the best. And I hope to participate again in the future."

    —William Mwazi, 2007 Painting Student
