Remembering a Friend: Honor and Memorial Gifts

Throughout our joyful forty plus years we’ve made many friends. Some come in and out of the NIAD community, while others build a lasting relationship. Rami Geller did the latter; he was a compassionate lover of art, community, and NIAD Art Center. 
In grateful collaboration with Rami’s family, NIAD artists and facilitators created a fountain in our courtyard which offers beauty, respite, remembrance and inspiration.
