The exhibit celebrated the 25th anniversary of the publication of Britain's first novel Green Rider. It showcased both Britain’s work (through her books, the manuscript materials in which the texts evolved from idea to completion, and the beautiful art that illustrates it) and examples of fanworks created by many Green Rider fans, ranging from music to art to costumes to objects.

During April 5-7, 2024, Cushing hosted the exhibit's opening event that included a lecture, reading, and signing from Britain, as well as panels relating to her and work, cosplaying, and a trivia contest. The materials in this collection were given out or used during the events.
