I like how EOD encourages people to highlight differences.
What you are doing reminds us all that art matters.
I love that you give artists of all backgrounds opportunities to shine in a big, big way.
The people in this organization lead with curiosity and not hate.
The diversity of teachers spreading creativity is golden!
You encourage others to step out of your comfort zone and CREATE.
I love the messages shared in both Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti. So important to bridge the gap.
I always learn new things at each EOD event: how to mix people.
