The residency went very well. John got a lot of prints and experiments out of his budgeted printing days, and was thrilled to see the press in motion printing his work.
Kristina Tito and I applied on his behalf to NAVA for a small grant to pay for some promotional material and other odds and ends to fund John's exhibition at The Cross Art Projects.
I designed a small catalogue, which was printed on our friends in print The Rizzeria.

Josie Cavallaro from Accessible Arts made a small speech about the project to open the exhibition. Unbeknown to anyone, John came along with his own little speech written out on a tiny piece of paper, to thank everyone for the opportunity. It was a very proud moment for me.

Josh Charles' beautiful documentary was screened in its entirety at the exhibition as well:

The project was part of a panel discussion at Accessible Arts on 6 November 2013, but that's a subject for a later post.
