Thank you Frank. You really felt the attachment of an artist to his institution, specially when I am back there as a teacher. We all regard high the Pratt Institute and the Columbia University Teachers College. You are lucky to be there. With your creativity and scholarship, you are the right person to be with such great academies. Wish you a happy journey through art. Regards.

I celebrate the Government College of Arts and Crafts. an important venerable and historic institution in India, When I read of some of the great founders, including the immortal Tagore, I was doubly impressed, even awestruck

It is so nice to see my good friends in these groups. People who I do not know personally but who share my life journey in art. I went to Pratt Institute in my undergraduate days and now attend Columbia University Teachers College Dept of Art and Art Education
