| The Meeting Place helped me articulate ideas about my work. It allowed me to talk with people with whom it would have been difficult to meet otherwise. |
-Nick Kline, New York, NY, 2004 Meeting Place Participant |
| The contacts with the Reviewers as well as other Photographers has been tremendous. I consider some of these relationships to be the beginning of long term relationships. |
-Kenton K. Brown, Austin, TX, 2004 Meeting Place Participant |
| A great way to set aside time to see new work. Working for a small gallery like Impressions, it can be difficult to set aside time to source new work and get out and meet new people and organizations. I've returned home feeling refreshed and full of new ideas. |
-Pippa Oldfield, Impressions Gallery, York, United Kingdom, 2004 Meeting Place Reviewer |
