“Being a part of the Woodstock artist community has been incredibly inspiring for me as an Arab/Iraqi artist. The support, creativity, and collaboration before and now  ‘Art on Conflict’ exhibit have brought so much joy to my work and fueled my passion every day. I feel so lucky to be surrounded by such talented and welcoming artists who genuinely lift each other up. Thank you to everyone who makes this community feel like home!” Rana Ibrahim (Iraqi Women Art & War)

“Who knew that Artists in Woodstock would open so many doors: friendship, support, camaraderie and a sense of community. It's wonderful to be part of it.” Jane Topliss  (Jets Pottery)

“Artists in Woodstock has reignited my Grá for art—a mindful and calming pursuit that offers a much-needed contrast to the fast-paced, screen-heavy world of work. Grá, the Irish word for love, perfectly captures how I feel. As an Irish woman living in beautiful Woodstock, I'm continually inspired by the area's nature, sweeping country views, and historic architecture, all of which bring fresh depth to my work. Creating art has become a mindful practice, and the camaraderie with fellow artists from diverse backgrounds and media makes this journey even more rewarding.” Sarah Cunningham  (The Lino Centric)
