TO THE CROWD AT SVA NEW YORK

THANK YOU FOR AN INCREDIBLE NIGHT

January 31, 2026

To everyone who joined us at the School of Visual Arts on January 29th for Phil Penman’s talk: thank you. Seeing the theater packed on a Thursday night was a powerful reminder of why I do this.

It was a real pleasure meeting all you . Stay tuned as many more events are coming up for New York this year.
