Other Comments about Art Jam:
Far exceeded my expectations. I needed this night - will surely return with some fellow overwrought “trying to be everything” moms. Thanks for the terrific evening. Jane Wielhorski
Awesome , fun, liberating, expressive, creative. Had a great time - was tired coming in - felt great going out. Sue Dickieson
I think this is an excellent outlet. I believe that a program such as this would be just the outlet that some consumers of Guelph Services for the Physically Disabled would enjoy. Leanne Warren
I felt like a kid again! It is a neat team building experience as well as a great individual initiative to increase self esteem! It would be neat to see work groups go through this process! Tara Secord
