Bhavna Meta: "I am so thrilled the way the Art Prize is going for this year and so excited about the new established and emerging artists.... Meeting and working with and getting to know Marianela (de la Hoz) is very gratifying for me and the prize was a great impetus for that to happen." Debby and Larry Kline: "....our highlight event associated with the prize, we both agree it was when David
Antin, who was in the midst of several projects himself, said yes, that he
wanted to write about our work." Deanne Sabeck: "Receiving this has inspired me to create with new vision and to help elevate the art scene in San Diego. You are never too old or experienced to be emerging." David Adey: "The prize money came at a time when it's greatly appreciated. I have a great deal of respect for Gail Roberts and ...she has become a close friend."

Allison Wiese; ",,,afforded me the opportunity to exhibit with an established artist of international reputation AND pay off a credit card bill!" Roman de Salvo: "It has been an unusual honor to receive the SD Art Prize. In particular, I enjoyed the opportunity to champion an emerging artist (Lael Corbin) whose work is now noticed more widely as a result. The prize money is appreciated. It's nice when some of the artist's income is not tied directly to sales." May-ling Martinez:"It is encouraging to know that we are part of an arts community willing and able to support its members in an admirable and proactive way." Jean Lowe:".....the program has really great positive energy." Iana Quesnell:"The SD Art Prize has had a tremendous impact on the exposure I have received in the last year..." Ernest Silva: "I have received excellent commentary on my work in the San Diego Union Tribune. Increased interest in my work, evidenced by comments from viewers of the shows, offers of several future exhibitions, inquiries from arts professionals who are interested in writing about my work, the potential addition to several museum collections and greater exsposure about my work on the web. The increased awareness of the artists of this region, particularly of emerging artists who will undoubtedly show their work in the future regionally and nationally has been exciting. I really value the conversations with the artists and sponsors of this project, and it has been energizing and inspiring to work with all of them....From my perspective, I believe the San Diego Art Prize is recognizing and promoting nationally and internationally an increasing awareness of the quality of the visual artists of this region"
