What people are saying...
“I’ve never seen a program so highly attended or enthusiastically received as the one you presented to us. I know from comments made by students in the days following the presentation that seeing your work had a profound impact on all who were in attendance (particularly the students) and that they are continuing to reflect and think about what they learned in meaningful ways.” -Alice Bermeister, PhD Assistant Professor, Dept. of Art and Design, Winthrop University
“I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed working with you on “Heidelberg at Harvard”...you got people talking and thinking. That provocation alone made the project a great success. You communicated especially well with the students. I will remember the film screening and discussion we had as one of the great moments of my time at Harvard.” -John Beardsley Senior Lecturer in Landscape Architecture, Harvard University
“During their presentations, Mr. Guyton and Ms. Whitfield reiterated the roll that the arts can play in a democracy...Mr. Tyree Guyton and Ms. Jenenne Whtifield were outstanding representatives of the United States and are a tribute to the state of Michigan and the city of Detroit.” -United States Ambassador Gwen C. Clare, Quito, Ecuador
