THE FUND FOR ARTS AND CULTURE
The FundNotable & Quotable
The Fund often receives comments from the men and women who attend our events, government officials in the countries in which we work, and the consultants who lead our events. Here are a few from this past year that we would like to share with you.
“Sally Yerkovich’s sessions were inspiring and engaging, leaving the participants highly satisfied. In their evaluation forms, the overwhelming majority said they will be able to use the knowledge obtained at the seminar in their work.”
—Director of the Department for the Art Museums of Russia, Russia State Museum “On July 8, Russia celebrated its brand new holiday, the "Day of Family, Love and Fidelity". This day was chosen because July 8 honors the memory of two Murom saints, Peter and Fevronia. Last year, when we had the seminar in Murom with Honee Hess and Deborah Edwards, one of the explored ideas was making a better use of the cultural assets of the city, including the relics of ancient Murom monasteries. So, it can be justly said that The Fund's experts contributed to the making of this new national tradition. It has already attracted a lot of public attention to Murom and will continue to bring a great number of tourists, as well as new audiences to museums..” —Director of the Department for the Art Museums of Russia, Russia State Museum “The seminar was a great success. We had over 40 participants who enjoyed four days of intellectual communication. Deborah Ziska and Catherine Schwoeffermann were fabulous. We are all very grateful to The Fund for your endless energy, activity and wisdom.” —Deputy Director of the Ivan Honchar Museum, Kiev, Ukraine “I would like to thank you for making this conference possible as it became one of the most fascinating experiences in my life so far. I do hope that we’ll cooperate in the near or further future as I strongly believe that thus I shall enrich both my professional and personal lives.” —Participant at the 4th Annual Regional Museum Conference in Bucharest “Your presentations were excellent and informative and the first informal response from the Ministry was one of satisfaction as expressed by many attendees through an informal poll taken during our last lunch together.” “In our busy lives it’s easy to forget the pleasures of sharing ideas and time with our international counterparts. The community of museum professionals shares a special bond and duty and it is encouraging to see it flourish with such passion to do good and get things right in far away places.” “Thanks again for your hard word, brilliant thoughts and friendly spirits.” —Ralph Appelbaum addressing the faculty following the 4th Annual Museum Conference in Bucharest |
