Bed & Breakfast

A Letter From Our Founder

I’ve taken some time to reflect on the thirteen years of Bed & Breakfast (B&B), from our first show in my bedroom in Shorecrest, Miami, to our current residency with Art in the Park in Los Angeles. For over a decade, B&B has been my pride and biggest source of joy, which is why it’s a bit difficult for me to share with you that I’ll be taking a break from the project for the foreseeable future.

Some of you may know that I have been pursuing a degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education. This decision was made with the hopes of someday building a robust Early Childhood and Youth program within B&B, and ultimately to open a preschool co-existing with exhibitions, public programming, and more. Recently, it’s become clear to me that in order to see this ambition come to fruition, I need to focus on completing my degree. It has become increasingly challenging to do the sort of rigorous community programming I aspire B&B to have while simultaneously studying and working full-time. I’m resolute that my place in all this mess is not only with artists, but also with our children. This is the work I love and at this point in our history it feels more important than ever to see my schooling through.
