Won’t be long.
The show is down; the prints have sold out. We’re happy.

We are almost entirely sold out of posters. There are no copies of the monograph left and we’re happily starting to think about our next little project. Thanks again to all the artists, sponsors, collectors and supporters of all kinds. We couldn’t have done it without you and your interest in the project.

The video of the private view should be completed and uploaded early next week. Stay tuned!

It was enjoyed by all in attendance. Additional thanks go to everyone who came on a Friday before a long weekend (yes, all the best laid plans . . .) and to the Graphic Designers of Canada—specifically Marga Lopez and Mark Busse—for getting the word out and facilitating the ticket sales.

We’re selling the last few posters and the show will be up until 17 October. Go take a look before it’s too late!

As you may know the private view for Common Thread was last night. We had really good attendance and I’ll upload the video as soon as it’s edited.

In the meantime some posters have sold out (each are printed in a limited edition of only 2), the little monograph we created has only 3 copies left (this was a limited edition run of 20). We’re in the process of making the posters and the monograph available for purchase online so stay tuned.

Many thanks to all of the designers for providing such thoughtful and beautiful work.
Thanks to Setareh and Xavier for all the effort in installing the show on Tuesday.

We’re very excited to embark on the final preparations for the exhibition. All the posters arrived last week so Xavier came in to give us a hand to frame them.
