"Stephen C. Wagner’s mentorship program has completely changed my views about myself and my future as an artist and I would not have been able to accomplish this without the help of CCI and the Quick Grant program. I felt stagnant as an artist, it seemed pursuing my passions was a waste of time, but working with Stephen opened my mind and helped me find purpose and direction for my art. I am excited about what I will create and the opportunities to come and will be forever grateful. I hope that more emerging artists take advantage of this opportunity to gain support for their artistry and jump start their career." - Crystal Jade Davis, artist
"Working with Stephen was a pleasure and very beneficial. He made applying for the Quick Grant very straightforward and easy and if I had an issue, he would respond to my questions right away. He was also very communicative and flexible. He gave me lots of insights into all of the subjects I wanted to cover like how to market my art (outside of social media), how to create a portfolio and improve my website, and how to approach galleries and art consultants. It was great to hear about his experiences and get his expertise as well as have the accountability for me to get my 'homework' done. I look forward to working with Stephen again." - Roxanne Brodeur Young, artist
