"Thank you for the great workshop! I had so much fun at the Quinlan Visual Arts Center's workshop with Nancy. I learned and I laughed...what more can an art student ask?!?
I look forward to returning to QVAC for exhibits and workshops! It's a great environment and Gainesville is very fortunate to have the Center!" - R. Bruns
