Since 2011 Starry Night Programs has been supporting, nurturing and opening doors for emerging artists.

Here are just a few of the messages we’ve received from artists in our programs:

“Thank you for allowing me to be apart of this experience. I came away with accomplishing what I thought was an impossible dream.” – Jennifer Sims

“Thank you all for the awesome work you are doing! I really am excited to be a part of your programing. I fully support your methods and the way you are re-assembling the art world model and making it a more accessible and less hierarchical space.” – Eric Pickersgill

“This was a wonderful, supportive, and low-stress program. I felt skillfully represented, supported, and free to experience the rest of the fair at a pace that I determined. I can express nothing but gratitude to Monika and everyone who helped out! This was a wonderful, enriching experience and I would be honored to be a part of any future endeavors.” – Kelsey Shwetz

“The best aspect of working with the Starry Night Exposure Program was that I didn’t have to ‘work’ much at all. Representing oneself, particularly as an emerging artist, is a treacherous thing. Roughing it out in solitude was no longer as mandatory.” -Thomas Howard

“I was so impressed with the staff’s knowledge, hard work and professionalism. Everyone I spoke with was so generous in their sincere hope that we would be successful. This just felt so exciting and I came up with several new ideas of imagery I want to shoot.” -Shelly Hanan

“I would like to thank you once more for all your effort, your enthusiasm and devotion.” – Anica Govidarica

“I was pleasantly surprised by the high level of professionalism in our exhibition and the fair overall.” -Veronica Ceci

“Thank you for making this catalog and giving me the opportunity to publish my work!! It has been a very great experience and I hope to work with you more in the future!” -Shannon McDonell

“I just want to thank you for including me and appreciate all you are doing for artists.” -Lisa Cardenas

“My experience exceeded my expectations I fell in love with the environment, was really productive and can’t wait to return.” – Amanda Martinez

“Really, I would try to stay longer… Thank you! I loved it. It was perfect.” – Anna May Henry
