It was a wonderful enjoyable, inspiring and informative conference. . . .The idea of bringing these artists and minds from many corners of the world to offer of themselves and their organizations ways to share and make this a more enjoyable and livable world was very impressive and has fostered and encouraged my appetite to keep on making and sharing my art."

"You succeeded in creating 'the' very international meeting of residences with this second issue of "international opportunities for artists!" This is the kind of events I wouldn't like to miss in the future – not only for the panel discussions, but also for the many informal conversations I could have with colleagues, artists and actors of the international art scene."
