      Hey Joan,

      I have not been able to display your card yet, it is too delicate and I don’t want it to get damaged.

      For the month of December your ArtCard will be on display at Avenue 50 Studio in Highland Park.

      I will send out the details asap.

      Thanks for your support!

      -Oliver
