Thank you, and for all you're doing to help promote the artists of SD.  You know how good it feels to have you all rooting for us.

I just had to rave (enthusiastically) about you for creating and pulling-off a FANTABULOUS event.  The Little Large project is so cool and the Opening Night preview was definitely the “place to be!”  We loved being part of it.   Kudos and power to you for your vision and perseverance.

Wonderful event last night!  Really terrific work organizing and coordinating. It was a great idea to tie in with the SDMA Calder exhibit and bring it to galleries throughout the region.  What a terrific idea for promoting our arts community - just brilliant! Congratulations and good wishes for continued success with this show!

I want to take this chance to express how much we appreciate the many activities we have been exposed to through SDVAN.  The energetic pursuit of organizing these activities, most recently the event in Tijuana, the dinners and the tour of the Bernar Venet exhibit, have really added an extra dimension to the cultural life here.

Congratulations on creating a great arts website!

It is a magnificent effort to organize the seemingly unorganizable....at this one site you can find the most up to date information on any day's activity in the Arts via the Calendar. Then you can find your favorite artist or supplier...and if that is not enough you can go deeper and learn about How to Collect, How to Create a Collection,....there is more and more……

This site is non-competitive and very co-operative. I want to promote that spirit everywhere we can to encourage cooperation with all art resources.

Because the arts community is so spread out over a vast geographical area, SDVAN provide a cyber meeting space. This is place that creates a bridge to communicate, co-operate and create.

The Calendar is the most fun and most cool part of the site. Information right at hand all the time.

The San Diego Visual Arts Network is the only window that I can use to schedule my calendar. It show everything.

I believe that SDVAN is a very opportune and useful tool for the artists and the community. The wealth of information to be compiled in this database will supplement the capability of bringing us in contact with the public and fellow artists, to find pertinent information on exhibits, juried shows, venues to promote our art and is in itself an invaluable resource. The exposure of the artist to the community is essential for the cultural development of any society. SDVAN fulfills a gap in the visual arts community of San Diego.

Your site is a wonderful idea! I'm not aware of any other site in San Diego offering such valuable service to local artists for free. The super-artists portals are SO expensive, it's difficult for struggling or emerging artists to join. For example, The ISPOT is almost $1,000 yearly. Also, keeping it local is a great boon for SD artists. With proper promotion and media coverage, it won't take long for local buyers to come here when looking for art. Thank you!

Dear San Diego Visual Arts Network,
You are embarking on a fabulous project and I am eager to assist you in any way that I can! As a local San Diego artist who "re-engaged" in her passion for painting 2 and a half years ago, I found it difficult to find much collaborative information regarding local artistic suppliers, galleries, or associations anywhere, let alone on line. The Internet has become such an integral part of our daily lives and I'm thrilled to see an organization that not only understands this, but also is promoting it with its mission. Now, when one needs to find out what is happening in the San Diego art community, needs to find the best place to purchase material for their work, or desires to promote their artistic endeavors, all they need is one URL: http://www.sdvisualarts.net! I believe that this is the start of a wonderful resource that will save so many of us an incredible amount of time and effort, and offer a wonderful and easy-access community for all of us! Thanks SDVAN!
Sincerely,
