Review for Tamarack Foundation Inc, Charleston, WV, USA

Rating: 2 stars  

I believe Tamarack has great vision and adequate funding to help support the economic development of WV craftsman, artists such as myself and general public. Unfortunately I've never been impressed with anyone I've met who works for or manages day to day activities in the organization. Although some of these individuals may have been enthusiatic about their craft and their position with Tamarack, I do not feel they were experienced enough nor focused enough to grow the organization. Tamarack needs to be run as a business by business men and women and not as a non-profit organization who continually looks for handouts and political support to meet their budget requirements. I have not participated with Tamarack as an artist nor as a patron in the past 9 months as there is nothing new and exciting to see there. As a previous board member for a non-profit art museum, I hope someone with new and exciting ideas begins to assist Tamarack soon as I would love to have a reason to take my young family there soon.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

numerous items of art being sold through their juried shows and group shows.

Role:  General Member of the Public & I'm a previous participating artist of Tamaracks fine art gallery.
