This publication represents the first cohort of 10 participants for Field Guide to a Crisis. Justin Maxon is currently working with the second cohort now with funding from the California Arts Council (CAC). The project has recently received another grant from the CAC ($50,000) to start a third cohort of participants, consisting of youth in foster and adopted care. The project has been funded by the CAC (3 times), National Geographic Society, Center for Photographic Arts, and the Humboldt Area Foundation. 

Justin Maxon was invited to be an artist-in-residence at Wave Pool Gallery in Cincinnati Ohio, where he will bring the framework from Field Guide to work with a new group of participants. 

The project has two solo shows come in the summer of 2023 (May/June) in Eureka, CA, (Morris Graves Museum and the Brenda Tuxford Gallery) where 4 workshops will be organized to give participants the opportunity to teach their skill in real time.
