“In founding Verge, I had two goals: create a supportive incubator of artists where ideas could be shared and collaborations made, and create a gallery for contemporary art that would both educate Sacramento and be significant on an international stage. I'm very excited about the addition of the classroom, and continuing the dialog we've created with the art world outside of our region. I believe that Verge plays a pivotal role in Sacramento's evolution as a city and I continue to support it because I can't imagine us without it.” – Jesse Powell
