What you do is encapsulated in that closing statement. Again, thank you. Thank you for all that you do! I love receiving your newsletter and staying in the loop about all things contemporary art in SD! Your work has been important and foundational to elevate the visibility of the region’s visual artists. The honor is mine to build on what you have accomplished. The ART PRIZE is a great San Diego County program and we are proud to have participation with and connections to two of the selected honorees. I have been reading your SDVAN posts for several years and have always found it interesting, and the best art resource in SD. I love all your e-mails and announcements. Happy New Year and a new beginning and keep up all the things you are doing. You are a godsend for all of us. Thank you so much for all you’ve done and given to bring new leadership to San Diego county. Thanks for all you do.

Ashley Gardener, Women's History Museum, July 2013 I am still reeling from the excitement and thrill of the event! (Eat Your Art Out, P2P)I had NO idea it was going to be so clever, so creative, so fun and so entertaining. You really did a stupendous job!!!!!!!! And the food…. Who would have thought that through all of the art and the blanks to beauty and the tables and the artists running around … that the food would be so wonderful? The soup, the paella, the cheeses and salad, the cookies hanging from the umbrellas. Every morsel DELICIOUS AND OUTSTANDING! I mean really outstanding! Oh, and the band was top drawer!!! My table mate, Ben Niiler, danced my arms off! Once again, my hats off to you and the team you assembled. I wanted to let you know Young Audiences secured a volunteer coord from your SDVAN post for volunteer ops. They are thrilled. Thanks! I wanted to send you a note of gratitude saying THANK YOU so much for writing the wonderful article about my presenation at Robin Lipman's. It was very well written, most informative, and a great perk for my work. I really apprciate it and am truly honored Thank you so much for your help on my listing with SDVAN, and on your informative and inspirational presentation last night. It was a great benefit to me Thank you very much for the gift of your time and the warmth of your advice. I treasure knowing women like you. My artist profile got me a small commission out of San Franciso, Thanks so much. A new comment on your post "Picked RAW Peeled: From El Greco to Dali"Great reporting! It really was wonderful working with you. Your clear vision and directions made the project a pleasant experience. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to nominate artists for the SD Art Prize. I look forward to hearing who the winners are and applaud you for the wonderful job you do to encourage our artistic community. You have so much energy! Blogging, organizing, thinking, creating, doing, delegating. I would like to sincerely thank you for playing such an important role in the success of ART SAN DIEGO 2010. The BUZZ in San Diego has been fantastic and everyone is excited for next year. Your enthusiasm from the beginning has been fantastic, and your promotion of the event both to colleagues, the SDVAN network, and friends has meant a lot to us.We are happy to have you as part of the ART SAN DIEGO family! Yesterday I saw the New Contemporaries show. Congratulations on finding, yet again, a space to host the exhibition. I know that is not at all easy.I appreciate this selection of N. C. s as representative of the community at large – more so than any previous N. C. selection. As you know I have my own bias about being too heavy with UCSD fledglings. In this year’s group of contemporaries there are a large number of seasoned professionals – but they are all deserving and really represent the expertise that is in SD. I think having the dual wall statements about the artist and a statement from their selectors is a terrific amplification. Good for us that your energies are still vital and effective. Thanks for your considerable efforts and their obvious success. THANK YOU!! Your write up and thanks to all involved was an excellent example of ‘establishing and growing relationships’ and remembering to say ‘thank you’ in my workshop. Brava! Patricia, that is so nicely done. I can not express to you how I admire you and your way of, apparently, pulling things off so seamlessly and without apparent effort and with no complaints. I think that this is true GENIUS Robert Pincus, Union Tribune, Dec, 2009
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. Reba Engels, July 2009 http://www.RebaEngel.com 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. Jacqueline Silverman, July 2009 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! Thanks. I can always count on you to get the word out to the artists. In fact, your organization is the most active and relevant artist-focused service organization in the region....
Many thanks. As always, your efficiency is unparalleled.Felicia Shaw Feb 2009 SD Foundation Steve Gould, Nov 2008 www.stevegouldphotography.com 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. i've been associated with SDVAN for the last few years. SDVAN is a driving force in the San Diego artist community. SDVANrecognizes visual artists and brings together artists, arts and the community. SDVAN organizes events, creates venues and informs,educates and promotes the arts and artists in San Diego. it is an incredible venue for us all. Jim Gilliam,Arts Administrator I moved here one year ago and it takes time to settle down and make new contacts. I now have a new website, updated with my latest work, and I have a new business card (ordered online) and it looks great (I think!). That is why I feel ready to connect to some of the institutions here like SDVAN and SanDiegoartists.com. I will keep in touch and definetely visit your "full with info" website often. And post something on the calendar when I participate in an event.
Best regards, Michele Guieu July 2005 www.micheleguieu.com I just data entered some of my class info on the sdvisualarts.net website and am so grateful for this wonderful venue! Its a great website, and so easy to enter the info, plus its on the site immediately. What a great service! Thank you so much. I'm having sdvisualarts.net added to my own website. thank you again.
Nadine Spier July 5, 2005 http://www.nadinespier.co 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!
