Testimonials: what clients and the media have said

...Within minutes, the slight and serious art critic and writer had given me the backstory on the works that had most challenged me... ..Kerr expounded on the works in front of us without ever seeming forced or professorial. (Imagine a kind of droll, English-educated friend who happens to know a ton about contemporary art.).
Kathleen Fifield, Senior Editor, Philadelphia Magazine
Excerpt from Philadelphia Magazine article 'An Art Filled Weekend in New York', September 2005

...Thank you very much for making the tours a success despite the severe weather on both tour dates. The tours were indeed very popular with the conference attendees and added to the diversity of the the content of the conference. It was a pleasure to work with you...
Paul Skiff, Asst. Director for Annual Conference

...My tour with Merrily gave me a crash course in the New York art scene. I couldn't have comprehended nearly so much if I'd taken twice as much time on my own...
...I would recommend her services to anyone wanting to get a great overview of the contemporary New York art industry.

...Merrily Kerr introduced my freshman new media students to Chelsea galleries, giving them an insider’s view of the artwork.... Her tour was one of the highlights of the semester!.... Merrily was personable, taking the time to answer questions and providing information about the artists based on her own experience and knowledge of the New York art scene.... She based the tour around my class’s needs, picking out specific sound and video installations that provided them with inspiration and history for the class.

...I highly recommend- I hired Merrily as a birthday present to my sister- an authentic, hip New York gift! She provided us with the "insider's" point of view while sprinkling in juicy details and fun stories. The two hour tour was the perfect length and it made the Chelsea galleries accessible and easy to navigate (I don't think I would have found half of them on my own!)
