My Nonprofit Reviews
Karen Askin
Review for The Metropolitan Center For The Visual Arts Inc, Rockville, MD, USA
I started taking classes at VisArts when it was Rockville Arts Place. I became so obsessed with ceramics that I became a resident artist and later on a Board member. I've been with the organization through its good years and its bad years and I have never been more optimistic about our future.
We have rebuilt our education program, mounted excellent and well reviewed art exhibits and are partnering with our Rockville Town Square neighbors to a degree we never have before.
Our board has been restructured and is focused on building a sustainable and well run organization.
I cannot imagine how a part time (at best) consultant could make the unfounded and untruthful statements that she has about an organization that will celebrate its 25th year in existence in 2012.
I strongly encourage everyone to visit our website and more importantly, our facility to check out the wonderful and creative things that happen here each day.
