Goals
Testimonials about the promotion and event: This exhibition, “Little and Large”, gave me an opportunity to explore a larger medium. With the creation of sculpture, I found freedom from the limitations of scale and wearabilty. For the first time, I could concentrate solely on the sinuous forms, their movement, and the tensions produced. I focused on the interplay between the positive and negative spaces, between the edges and angles, and between concave and convex shapes. This experience has been a wonderful learning process and a challenging, but fascinating, artistic journey. I am grateful for the opportunity to participate in this event! Thank you so much for your gracious letter. I am truly flattered and touched that you took the time to write such a glowing review. Your event was a huge success but we were but a small part in your HUGE effort. That it went off flawlessly was a tribute to all the time and effort you and you volunteers put into the event prior to brining it to our pool lounge. We thank you for choosing us as your venue and we look forward to working with you and the wonderful San Diego art community. A huge success - bravo! A great crowd and everyone seemed to be having a fantastic time. Well done Again, bravo and enjoy the day! We are proud to participate! What an event!!!!!!!!!!! I want to thank you so much for what you made happen with a vision and passion for the arts. It was perfectly beautiful better than I could have imagined. Great job, thank you and let me know if I can help you with something down the road. 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! Congratulations on a great event. I am so proud of your accomplishment. Everyone I knew had a blast. Dennis Batt – SDVAG You did such a wonderful job organizing Little and Large. I am just so happy to be part of this event and the reception was first rate. I'm hoping you do this again next year. Was last night fantastic- U really did a fantastic job!!! Congratulations… First I'd like to tell you how impressed I am with your ability to put events together as you do. You are truly amazing!!! Thanks so much for letting me participate in tonight's event. I had such a terrific time having a reason to talk with all the guests and lining up volunteers for the informal jewelry walk. Seems like everyone had a smashing time... and not one soul fell into the pool! I had a fabulous time doing the job you assigned to me. Thank you for letting me be a part of a very successful evening! Thank you!! You put on a gala event to be proud of – it was very much fun for the FusionGlassCo Crew. Thank you so much for including us in this event! The evening was something you should be proud of! I just really appreciate all your efforts for the Art Community! 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. We had a fantastic time making books and we are honored to have been part of your fabulous event. I look forward to seeing each of you again soon. Just wanted to let you know how terrific we think you are. Wow, what an event! Let me know if anyone is going to do a tour of the participating locations. Oh, and thank you for launching my modeling career! Best Regards, Karen Fox & Harvey Ruben A huge congratulation to everyone indeed! What an amazing event! I was asked several times throughout the night how a non-profit pulled off such a high-caliber event and I know it reflects the consistent dedication and resourcefulness of everyone who was involved. About three months ago I heard Patricia say that a mobilizing element that the SD art community is missing is bigger and better parties. Well, you did it Patricia! This granted excellent exposure to San Diego artists, and it has been really fun. Thank you and Congratulations for a job well done to all of you: Patricia, Ranée Thomine, Denise, Ally, Philly, Flo,Rosemary, Kaarin, Alina, Kiki, Tom, the greeting team, the models, the assistants, the logistics staff, the photographers and so many more of you. All the volunteers, the flip book, the make-up, the hair , the food, the drinks. I certainly miss some people but I have your smiles and your output in mind. Everything was executed with such flair and professionalism: this event was incredible. Bravo Patricia, the committee and the volunteers My dear sweet petunias, the flowers of my garden, we all bloom profusely together because of each other. The L&L launch was the most brilliant event ever. The jewelry projected on the wall was totally inspired. I loved the transparent walkway over the pool. It's our pleasure to help promote such a terrific event. Thanks for all you do to make a community out of many disparate characters AND for a great party at the Se last Wednesday. It sure beats tired wine and I wanted to extend my gratitude for your vision, hard work and organization of such a fine exhibit. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with such a professional group of organizers and artists. For More information: patricia@SDVisualArts.net 760 943 0148 |
