We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on February 2, 2011.

Exhibition Opens

Update #3 · Feb 7, 2011 · 5 comments

The photography exhibit opened at FusionArts Museum on Feb. 3. Many people came who either knew Adam Purple or The Garden, but many visitors did not know about his amazing creation. The gallery opened at 6 PM, and was packed by 7:30 PM when Adam Purple arrived. He hadn't seen the show, and was touched by the reception he received.

One more thing: the slide show we made for our Kickstarter project was invited to be screened at the Lower East Side Film Festival in NYC. We worked on the film, adding pictures and music, and are very proud of the finished product. It will screen at the festival on Feb. 8, 11, 12 and 25.

Again, thanks for your support. Hopefully this will lead to more recognition for Adam.

      I wish we could get over to NYC to see the exhibition, perhaps we will. At least I have my print to choose which is proving tricky in itself!
      Hope the project does get Adam the recognition he most definitely deserves and it's a real shame they flattened his garden.

      I am looking forward to the print and more importantly I am looking forward to the seeing the works! Congrats on such a wonderful and terribly sad story.
