"While I had read a few reviews about Mr. DeCaire’s performance online, I was not expecting the robust performance that he would give to our students. Having researched and hired a variety of different enriching programs for our students in the last several years, I can honestly say that Mr. DeCaire’s school assembly was the most entertaining and educational that we have had…and that is truly saying something as most of these programs are top-notch. Mr. DeCaire had a great command of the group, a wonderful sense of humor and relevant information to share with the students. In my experience, it is difficult to find an artist who is both as talented artistically as Mr. DeCaire as well as one who so easily interacts with the students and parents alike."

Dear Mr. DeCaire,
Thank you so much for coming today and presenting to our school. I wanted you to know that I noticed one of our students, who sometimes can be quite dis-regulated during assemblies, behave as a model student during your presentation. He was focused, engaged and had relevant questions at the end of the demonstration.
Thank you for providing a great opportunity for our students to see the art making process. They were able to learn that the things they are passionate about now might be something they can learn to do as a career in the future.
