ARTIST COLLABORATIVE
The four of us met in our undergraduate BFA program and have been showing and curating together ever since graduating in 2020. The artist network we've built is a testament to our collaborative efforts, and we hope to cultivate a growing network of artists eager to show their work and share their artistic journeys and creative practices.
