Despite Els' best efforts to secure more exhibitions for him, after 1943, Czebotar was content to simply remain in Fishkill and create more works.

Czebotar had an exhibit was at the American British Art Center (ABAC) from January 3–13, 1945, and he was not happy about having to leave Fishkill for it.
