Workshop participants' feedback on the topic of "what made the workshop series work?"

• The wealth of information and interactive activities.

• Great tools were shared.

• I loved that the DEI training was very interactive. It made you put yourself in a different perspective to view things from a different point of view - out of your comfort zone.

Cynthia Townsend has been a game-changer in my career as an independent fine artist. Her expertise in sourcing art opportunities has been been nothing short of transformative, opening doors I never knew were possible. She has created and pitched art proposals with a level of professionalism and creativity that I truly value. I've been able to reclaim my creativity and concentrate on what I love most: creating art. -Painter Katiana Jarbath​
