"What an excellent day you created for all of us!  Thank you so much for all the wonderful information, the new perspective on art, the new friends, and the new and very unique experience. We loved it and feel very enlightened on many levels.  You are a terrific educator and provocateur!  The atmosphere, the people, the art, the food, the lecture, EVERYTHING was superb. We had a wonderful time.” P.  Composer

 "I just wanted to write and tell you how much we enjoyed your lecture yesterday.  We learned so much in such a short period of time.  You have such a passionate approach to your teaching that it really helped us to connect to the material.  But you also made it so approachable for us to discuss our own feelings.  You brought together such a interesting and eclectic group of people.  The Genessee House was also a wonderful surprise. What a talented family! ""We are looking forward to attending the follow up lectures." B. Psychiatrist

“Thank you for arranging last night's discussion.  I thoroughly enjoyed it, as well as meeting artists Claude Collins-Stracensky and Nathan Redwood.

 I am truly inspired by your 'mission' as stated on the art-gate website.  There are few people who take it upon themselves to make contemporary work accessible to those who feel un-included in its often tangled web of ideas and aesthetics.  While I am an MFA graduate and feel at home in these discussions, it has been a burden to me that so many friends and relatives of mine feel alienated by contemporary art and its occasional inaccessibility, or is lack of context.

 Whose fault that is I am not sure, but I appreciate very much what you are doing -- the bridge you say you're trying to build is a bridge I've looked at and thought about for many years, and it is much needed.”
M. Painter

“We have truly enjoyed the program not only for its well-developed structure and content, but also for its spirit, meaning your enthusiasm and sense of humor, your ability to engage students into a constructive thinking. It was a great delight to share the experience with such a nice group of people, as well as to be welcomed so warmly by all the gallerists and other art professionals.”

"Frank's seminars are an ideal balance of theory classes, galleries visits, and artists’ work analysis. He offers a unique and highly effective way to enter the world of contemporary art. Frank gave me the key to enter what seemed to be a pretty closed world, and gave me a real understanding of it. He introduced us to artists and professionals of the art world in a very informal way. The atmosphere is so friendly that I wouldn’t realize I was actually attending a seminar!
I truly recommend anyone who has an interest in art, to attend his seminars. Whatever your degree of knowledge is, you will get something great out of it!”
