Artist Registry
The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

RESUME
I am formally trained as a painter. I am a cultural promoter, educator, and project creator with exhibitions at The Block Gallery, Smack Mellon, MoMA/P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, The Bronx Museum of the Arts, Queens Museum, El Museo del Barrio, the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts, San Diego Art Institute, Riverside Park Conservancy and the Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts, among others. My practice is greatly influenced and informed by folk art and popular culture, and in 2008 I began an artist-run project in my bedroom called the Bronx Blue Bedroom Project (BBBP). BBBP ran from 2008-2010. During 2010-2016, I lived between Athens, Greece and New York City where I initiated FoKiaNou 24/7, now FokiaNou Art Space, an alternative artist-run space, in the center of the Hellenic capital.
I currently operate AAA3A (Alexander Avenue Apartment 3A) a project which offers food, dialogue, workshops, and art in my living room. Mentions of my work and projects can be found in various notable publications including The New York Times, ART NEWS, Hyperallergic, HuffPost Arts, ARTSY, The International Review of African American Art, Time Out New York, among others. I am an active member and supporter of Running for Ayotzinapa 43, an international community of athletes based in NYC, who run for the tens of thousands of disappeared in Mexico, and to promote a dialogue and consciousness concerning human rights violations worldwide. Don Antonio Tizapa, father of one of the missing 43 students from Ayotzinapa, initiated this club in 2014, he lives in Brooklyn, New York.
