In early November Jas learned that he had been awarded a Canada Council Travel Grant to attend the exhibit. Last minute arrangements were made and Jas arrived in Moscow in time to spend December 10th at Art-Manege'98, meeting many Russian artists, poets, musicians, designers, etc.
Jas is most greatful to Alexander Kholopov and Natalie Lamanova for the excellent work they did in the mounting and presentation of the exhibit, and, along with their friends and family, for being such wonderful hosts during his stay in Moscow. More thanks go to Ksenia Bogemskaya, Art Director at Art-Manege for her support of the exhibition. Finally, a special thanks goes to The Canada Council for the Arts for its grant, without which Jas' extrordinary personal experiences in Moscow would not have been possible.
