Name: Anonymous on Jan 11, 2007Name - Nom: lynda Schneider GranatsteinComments - Commentaires: This saddens me. I have had a rich and fulfilling student history within the Saidye's School of Fine Arts, and have benefitted enormously from becoming a teacher there. I believe my own students have been enriched as well. What a shame....Flag

Name: Anonymous on Jan 11, 2007Name - Nom: al zigayerComments - Commentaires: Great School! Great Teachers! Cordial and professional staff at all levels. A wonderful and vitally dynamic 'safe' place to learn and "practice" visual arts for people of all ages, backgrounds, and levels of experience. The closing of this Montreal "Institution" would be a terrible mistake and a loss for the entire community.Flag

The loss of this treasure from Montreal's art scene would be truly tragic. I ask you to reconsider the decision to close the Fine Arts School. I am sure other Montrealers feel likewise.Flag

Surely this peaceful, creative and multicultural pursuit should be encouraged at a time when the world forces are so dark.Flag

Name: Anonymous on Jan 12, 2007Name - Nom: Louise GagnéComments - Commentaires: I think it is a shame that one of the only institutons dedicated to teaching art to non professional artists should disappear. Several institutions already exist encouraging performing arts. Visual arts are democratic, can be practised by everyone of all ages, all origins and all languages. The Saidye was a bilingual institution also creating links between French and English Montrealers. To whom will this change profit Who do they want to create jobs for Visual arts will live for longer than a performance!Flag

Name: Anonymous on Jan 12, 2007Name - Nom: Myrna Brooks BercovitchComments - Commentaires: I am outraged with the lack of concern and information given by the media to our community. Ben's Deli and the spectrum were front page news ( and rightly so)- what about this ' the 'Saidye' for the 40 years of excellence and community contribution. In some families , such as ours, my grandchildren, my children, and I have all been students . It is a tradition and a right of passage that serious art students prepare for their entrance into art schools and universities. I have been a teacher at the Saidye for over 25 years and have seen it grow and flourish with an inclusive mandate for people with special needs , cultures,and languages. It is this diversity that has always set it apart from most other institutions. I am shocked at the silent reaction of students, communitry leaders, and the lack of respect given to the dedicated teachers who have remained and preformed in excellece through many trials and tribulations that occured over the years. Where are our community leaders who so proudly visited our gallery,sent their children to learn,used our facillities for fund raising Are they aware that 80 plus faculty memebers were dismissed in one full swoop- or do they care What a shame!Flag
