"SAVAC has been instrumental in my career, allowing me opportunities and resources to expand my artistic practice. They supported my first efforts in video art and recently presented my first solo show---as a result my practice is now expanding into areas I never expected. Thanks to SAVAC my efforts to make better work have been realized, and I am now speaking to presenters and festivals across Canada and internationally." -- Debashis Sinha
