Dear Crossing the Art Farm: 10th Anniversary Retrospect

Deer Crossing the Art Farm is a community arts organization which focuses on the the exploration of social and environmental issues through visual and performing art. They recently celebrated their 10 year anniversary and commissioned a retrospective booklet highlighting their biggest initiatives. The booklet also serves as a thank-you to supporting organizations and as a marketing tool for future projects and supporters.

The organization is big on hands-on, participatory initiatives, upcycling and reimagining materials for use in their events. The hand of the artist is valued. I honoured this by creating a hand-lettered typeface specifically for this project, as well as various line drawings, patterns and painted textures.

The final printed piece was printed by the fine folks at Mitchell Press on beautifully textured stock.
