Next month, my latest curatorial project will celebrate Juneteenth in the largest way possible! 🚨

I recently partnered with @saveartspace & @dcdg.co to giveaway THREE BILLBOARDS to 3 incredible artists whose work truly embodies the Indelible Impact our culture has! This is a very full circle moment for me, as I was a fellow @saveartspace Billboard artist back in 2021 for my project addressing domestic violence. I’m elated to now be able to give this same opportunity to the incomparable @devinwesleyy @jmcraez & @rogerericksonphotography

We received over 150+ amazing submissions to our nationwide call for art and of those submissions we selected 19 artists to be apart of the in-gallery show of Indelible Imprints. I would like to personally invite you to come and witness the captivating works of these artists on June 14th, 2024 @gallery90220 and if you’re on the streets of Los Angeles from June 14th-July 7th, please stop and check out these incredible billboards filled with black expression and pride! Hope to see you there! More coming soon 🖤

RSVP LINK IN BIO 🔗🔗🔗

Special thank you to @saveartspace @trvsrx @gallery90220 @dcdg.co
