We arranged some exhibitions for the artists in 2008, 2009 & 2010 books at the Southern Nevada Museum of Art in Las Vegas. More information here: http://www.snmfa.com/id16.html

Hi Despina,

WOWEE!!! I just wanted to say thank you and that you have done a marvelous job at all this. I received my book today in the mail and am very pleased. It looks great and I feel honored to be included in a publication with so many talented artists. Job well done! You are a very good curator. I can only imagine how patient you are to organize and communicate with so many creative people! Thank you and hope to see you this summer in Vegas.

Dear Despina,

I just received my "ICM" books. WOW !!!

You made a wonderful work. The book is really impressive and, more than ever, i am proud to be in.

The quality of every element has been still increased and when we add this work to the one you did (and actually do these weeks) at Vegas...

I suppose (even if you look very good through the pictures you kindly sent us) that you feel exhausted after all this work.

Thank you so much for your generosity and commitment.

Fortunately, such a good things make life a little bit lighter.

Your friend,

Jean-Pierre

Comments about the exhibition we organized at the SNMFA.Com

Chère DESPINA,

 Merci infiniment pour les très nombreuses photos de l'inauguration de l'exposition des oeuvres des artistes ICM au Musée du Névada à LAS VEGAS. Avec le nom (sous les photos) de certaines personnalités, j'ai eu l'agréable surprise de vous voir devant une oeuvre et de faire ainsi votre connaissance.

Cette exposition est un grand succès pour vous-même, pour le Musée et bien sûr pour tous les nombreux artistes des différents pays du monde. Je regrette beaucoup de n'avoir pu être présent en raison de la grande distance entre la France et l'Amérique.

Cependant, j'adresse une nouvelle fois toutes mes félicitations à tous ceux qui ont participé à

l'organisation et à la bonne réalisation de cette très importante manifestation artistique et bien sûr au Directeur du Musée, Monsieur Joseph PALERMO.

Si vous avez un catalogue ou un livre de cette exposition, pouvez-vous me l'expédier ?

               Encore toutes mes félicitations.

                          Meilleures salutations,

                                                                  Joseph VIRGONE (FRANCE)

Hi Despina

 I received the book a couple of days ago.  Love it!  You did a great job!  Thanks so much for asking me to be a part of it.  And the 1st Vegas show looks GREAT and looked like a real good time!  I'm not sure yet, but hopefully I'll be able to make it out for the 3rd show (...the one that I am in).

Take care,

James

Despina Darling,

thank you so much for the photos especialy you beside my painting, thanks a million, looks great.

Dear Despina,

I have just received the books "International Contemporary Masters".

They look great. It's really impressive publishing. I thank you very much and I congratulate both the publishing and exhibitions.

Best regards,

Dear Despina,

 Many thanks for the book Masters III. It is beuatiful and I am proud to be in it.

I appreciate your briliant story about art in the book and at the exhibition in Las Vegas. I myself find this section of art a real free one; free from "big money" and its servants.

My congratulations!

 Warm greetings,

Viktor Majdandzic.

This is Fumie Kihara. I have received the book the other day. It is absolutely AWESOME!!! I really thank you for all your work. I am so glad to be involved as one of the artists in such a great book. Also, I am very impressed to see the photos of the exhibition in Vegas. I can't wait to join the June one!!! Anyway, THANK YOU SO MUCH, again.

Sincerely,

Fumie

Hello Despina,

Congratulations once again. Very impressive. show.

I may add that you look stunning. and has brought a lot of colour and glamour to the show. Please accept my compliments

Cheers

The book is tremendous!  In more ways than one. 

Only one problem, the packing it came in was open when it got to my door.  All the stuffing was coming out and was all over the hallway floor and later my apartment.  

I don't know who opened it or if it tore open accidentally.

Again many thanks!

Elinore Bucholtz

Hi Despina,

The books are gorgeous. Good Job!!!

I received Volume III of your book and although I knew you would do a good job on the book, I have to say in all honesty it exceeded my high expectations.

I wish to thank you for honoring me by including me in your wonderful book.

 Hi Despina,

I wanted to thank you for all your work on the exhibition. It ended being quite a surprise!!!  At first I was unsure of the location but they have done an excellent job in putting it together.

It was good to meet you in person, finally, and talk.

Have a great month and year.

Margaret

Thanks for the photographs. It was a pleasure to meet you there and to be able to speak with you. I also found the people in the Museum friendly and I have decided to go on exhibiting with the Museum for a six months additional time.

Σήμερα έλαβα το λεύκωμα. Είμαι πολύ ικανοποιημένος από την συνολική εικόνα του βιβλίου. Δυστυχώς, δεν διάβασα ακόμα τον πρόλογο για να κάνω κάποιο σχόλιο. Εύχομαι να συνεργαστούμε ξανά στο μέλλον.
Να είσαι καλά.  Dimitris Dimas (Translated from Greek: I received the book today. I am very content with the general appearance of it. Unfortunately I had not read your article yet so as to make a comment! I wish to collaborate again with you! I wish you well. Dimitris Dimas)
