My Hands Have a Voice Testimonials
If you missed the My Hands Have a Voice art exhibition to end human slavery, here are some testimonials from some of the attendees and participating artists:
“I’m so glad to have seen that movie call and response at the my hands have a voice show. I have decided to do my part and help out with abolishing human trafficking/slavery. I am going to give 25% of all my [art] sales to help free the slaves, and start bringing awareness to my own community through art. THANK YOU FOR OPENING MY EYES!” – Todd Sanders, artist
“Just wanted to let you know that the exhibition was great. Thanks for allowing our class to have the opportunity to learn and spread the word of this atrocious issue.” -Mike Cook, artist
“Congratulations on such a great event last weekend. The turnout was great and the entire event was wonderful. I was blessed by you giving me a chance to be a part of it as an artist.” – Jennifer Kwan, artist
“Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you for making the students feel so worthwhile and honored. Coming to our class, inviting them to the event, photographing their work, and asking for their opinion on camera showed a level of commitment and caring that most of them have never experienced. You broke down their defenses. I believe that due to your honesty and integrity the students will take themselves and their art more seriously. I could ask for nothing greater.
And yet, there is something greater. The students were floored to see bids for $100 on their work. They could not believe that their efforts would be rewarded and in turn, that your organization could benefit. The students are forced to acknowledge that their work may/can create change. And for that I am deeply grateful!” – Sarah A Meyer, Associate Professor of Graphic Design, Cal Poly Pomona
