Deaf Arts Festival wants to recognize the following people for making this event a success.  Without them, this would be dream instead.

​

• Jane Fijal for hosting this event on Grosse Ile

• Kathy Derderian for assisting teaching artists by purchasing supplies, set up and clean up for the event

• Darlene Weir for designing, setting up and teaching the community how to paint beautiful trees

• Monica and Roman Imelowski for inspiring people to come to Paint and Wine by creating a demo painting of Detroit's skyline.  This idea was brainstormed by Kathy and Jane then Monica/Roman materialized that dream on canvas.

• Grosse Ile Golf and Country Club for welcoming the fundraising event at their club.

• Various volunteers who assisted to make the event even better.
