TESTIMONIALS

Judy:

"I enthusiastically support the Grayslake Arts Alliance because no other local organization is as active as GAA, or offers as many opportunities to member artists. Regardless of style and medium, whether you paint or sculpt, whether you work with metal or wood, even if you enjoy writing books, short stories and poetry, GAA provides a year-round wealth of venues for bringing your special talent before the public. Participation is always voluntary and you may simply display your work or exhibit to sell."

Sherri:

"I joined the GAA with my sister, Roni, and came with her to the first meeting. I felt that the people who I met that day had a vision for the arts, the artists, and were on a mission to advance the organization in their community. The GAA has come a long way in all of the wonderful ideas they collectively have had for bringing the arts to the area. There are so many opportunities for the artists, as well. Everyone works well together and I am very happy to be a part of it."

Edie:

"I joined the GAA to connect and collaborate with other artists in my community. The GAA gave me a warm welcome and I enjoyed making new friends within the local arts scene. The GAA has also given me the exposure I needed to gain a solid customer base."

Tina:

"I have been a Grayslake resident since 2010. I love this community and continue to seek ways to be involved and support its growth. I chose to become a GAA member in 2020 when I also became a staff member of CCSD 46, as the art teacher for Park Campus. I look forward to the creative opportunities that GAA will provide to work with my Park families and the greater community."

Sinead:

"I joined the Grayslake Arts Alliance in the beginning of September, 2020 after a friend mentioned the organization to me. I am so happy I did, it was just what I was seeking! During COVID, isolation has temporarily become a part of our lives, and in many ways the arts helps us to connect even when we can not physically be together. In the short amount of time I have been a member I already feel a sense of belonging, not only as an artist, but as a member of our Grayslake community. I am excited to see what the future holds as a member of the GAA and look forward to participating in as many ways as I can. I am very proud to be a member of the GAA."

Bonniediva:

"Joining the Grayslake Arts Alliance has been a wonderful experience! I especially enjoy working with other members on community events, such as the Giving Tree display, and the Bee Kind Project. The GAA has given me an opportunity to make new friends, and a place to exhibit my multi-media collage pieces, as well as my specialized Mail Art."
