Time may have passed but the gratitude has not. On behalf of the hundreds of thousands of people who participated in Festival 2010, thank you and everyone else at GRTV that helped bring this year’s Festival of the Arts in Grand Rapids alive again and again for GRTV viewers! It was great to have GRTV film at the Calder again this year. By all estimates Festival 2010 was a great success. Throughout the years, GRTV has helped extend the boundaries of Festival by broadcasting live from downtown Grand Rapids. Festival of the Arts started as a “tribute to the arts.” Today Festival is a tribute to many things, it is a local legacy in the Library of Congress as the one event that best describes Grand Rapids and it is a spring tradition. Most importantly, Festival is the sights and sounds of not just one culture, but many cultures working hand-in-hand in the spirit of volunteerism and sense of community. Hope to see you next June 3, 4 and 5 at Festival of the Arts 2011.

Joann Reeves, Festival of the Arts, Co-Chair of Public Relations

 Once again, thanks to you and your excellent staff for helping us put together a successful night. We were/are so impressed by the professional and friendly demeanor of everyone involved. The theater is a wonderful place to play music and the facilities are "tops."
