Highlighting Underrepresented Voices
At our hybrid events and community meetups, we're taking a deep dive into the fascinating world of diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility, and belonging (DEIAB) in the art scene. Our mission is to kick-start candid conversations and ignite a spark of innovation in the arts, creating a space that embraces all, celebrates fresh perspectives, and shares stories from all walks of life.
ARTIST SPOTLIGHT
To say that Gonzo is prolific feels like an understatement. His artistic practice is part survival and part an intrinsic need to create. Gonzo’s work exists on a continuum where ideas flow from one to the next in a sustained meditation. The repetition of images, symbols, and gestures are cumulative, forecasting endless possibilities and continued progress.
