Marysia's ACT Testimonials
“Marysia’s style, resilience, energy, enthusiasm and vision for Beeston so far has been amazing. Getting inspiration for the town has been fantastic and I’m sure the future of the arts and culture scene is in safe hands. Hopefully the establishment of ACT will encourage more support from the local stakeholders and attract funding opportunities.” Dec. 2016.

“Marysia has been a regular customer of Hallams for eight years and we were more than happy to support her in promoting her ambition in placing Beeston on the map as a leading centre for art, culture and tourism. I’m sure you’d agree that ACT’s 2019 Cultures Crossing events have been a great showcase for her work in this field.”

"I wanted to write a short recommendation for Marysia. Her skills are well known and her attention to detail ensures the success of all she turns her hand to, but I wanted to share with you, somewhat in awe I must say, of Marysia's ability to reach out to people and touch them personally. Little notes of thanks, words of encouragement and a never-ending positive and cheerful attitude in all her works. Marysia is the kind of person who brightens your day when she enters the room, lifts the spirit and opens doors to let the sunshine in. Where she makes the time to do all this, I don’t know but it is awesome to see! Thank you Marysia, I have appreciated your friendship and know that in the future, you will, indeed, brighten the lives of many more people. God bless Marysia."

"In the time I have known Marysia she has always promoted Art-Culture-Tourism not only in Beeston, Nottingham/UK but globally....and I hope she continues to do so because her heart, soul, thoughts and actions are always there for us. She is an extraordinary person in every way. It is my pleasure to give her my highest recommendation in all she does."
Liz Healey, Gibson Sotheby's International Realty, Boston, USA
"I can recommend Marysia Zipser in the highest of ways. She is a tireless worker and an organizer of events. When she sets her mind to doing something she does it from her heart and nothing will stand in her way from making anything that she is involved in from being a total success. You can't go wrong in having Marysia give you a helping hand."
Laura Bailey, Archivist, Bookseller, Historian, Poet, Writer, New York, USA.
"Marysia, good evening with regards. First, when I went through your kind article & notes, I thought I must recommend you gracefully as being so decent & graceful lady full of self confidence, self control, may understand the set meaning of "yourself" in depth up to greater extent. I can say she does not understand the word "can't" results into a very good kind-hearted & loving nature and human being who knows music & "inner will" of flowers. I find her as a lady having sentimental, affectionate and crazy thoughts with great meanings to humanity. I regard her as a true friend, by terming her - friends are everywhere but friends like Marysia are very rare. So I salute her with Indian "Parnam" with folded hands."
