President, Vice President of Deaf Arts Festival and a local artist arrived to Chicago to join other De'VIA artists to revisit their original meeting 27 years ago when De'VIA was established.  As a team of artists and other people, they were part of developing a new book, The Framers written by Dr. Jim Van Manen that will be published in 2017.  

​

Co hosted with Peter Cook, the artists shared their art work, discussed various topics, watched several speakers, created a new De'VIA "logo" and had a joyous reunion among themselves.
