I would like to thank the folks responsible for Wall Therapy. Some of the most respected and well-known wall muralists in the world now have traveled to our city and shared their work. They see Rochester as a destination to meet their peers from around the world and share ideas and fellowship, as evidenced by the fact that many have made repeat visits from very distant places to participate. They have purposefully chosen some of the most challenged neighborhoods in our city to beautify and create inspiration. They have given many of our city's most talented local artists an opportunity to both share their work in highly visible venues, and to be included in the global media attention that the event has achieved. They have encouraged an atmosphere of diversity and free expression, of joy and community. They achieved this through grassroots support and hard work, and financed it through the contributions of folks who understand Wall Therapy's value. The barking of a small handful of critics cannot change these facts.
