“Someone asked me why I donate to Artworks. The reason is simple. My love is the arts…both the performing and the visual. And Artworks is the platform that makes it all happen, turning passion into reality. It takes students, regardless of age, and nurtures and encourages them to spread their wings, to develop the creativity that lurks within, and explode out with naked talent and cognition. And Artworks brings to the Big Rapids area a stage where those developing arts can be shown and nurtured…and where people can experience, observe and live that passion. What more could one ask for?”
