Comments from the 2007 San Antonio Creative Capital workshop participants:
"I have been so lucky since the Creative Capital thing. I really thank them and the Office of Cultural Affairs for including filmmakers in the program, and all of you for the support and the boost in confidence. It has turned things around for me."
-A San Antonio Filmmaker
"Thank you so very, very much for bringing Creative Capital to San Antonio. Tutelage by successful major market artists enabled me gain a bigger vision for my art and my community--and equally important, the tools to bring that vision to life!"
-A San Antonio songwriter
"I just found out that I won the composition competition that I wrote down as my goal at the creative capital workshop. The power of doing that workshop really helped me and all of us!!!!"
-A San Antonio composer
"It has been nice to hear of the success of my fellow Creative Capital workshop attendees and I am not surprised; I was inspired while in the presence of prolific artists of diverse disciplines from many places. Since last summer's workshop I have applied for a few dozen public art projects and artist registries with very positive results. I truly believe that the Creative Capital Workshop provided me with the tools and I needed to improve my presentation material and my presentation skills, which is why I had the nerve to apply for a million dollar monument competition open to international artists.
