"This was an exceptionally empowering educational experience for me. In school I learned to be an artist but not how to survive as an artist. I'd wondered what I'd been doing wrong, what I could do better, and how best to go about it. The clinics answered those questions. Who knew you could just send your work in to be reviewed to establish a gallery relationship? It certainly wasn't conveyed to me at university. Thank you for such well done, educational workshop." —Workshop Attendee, Tacoma, 2009
