Hey friends, This week I am back in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil for Rio Art Residency! 15 international artists. 1 house. 1 week. One mission: Elevate emerging artists and create a cultural exchange. I've stepped into the role of lead artist + co-founder, helping curate and guide the artists in a collaborative mural. (video)β β β
β $25 Cities poster prints + discounted postcard sets. All sales will come with free post cards and will help cover paint & expenses for the artwork we're creating down here. β β Weβre bringing the spirit of Cities to life through paint, collaboration and improvisation. I reminded the artists yesterday that murals belongs to where you paint them, not to the artist ... it's important to create with that in mind and frame the art as gift for locals to enjoy. For the line up this year, we thoughtfully hand picked a selection of emerging and established artists. We had to ensure that the vibes would be immaculate. Recognize any names? π β If you want to learn more about the residency, the artists, or learn more about how you can support, you can check out the the website here.β The residency would not be possible without the support of Selkie, the patrons and partners. THANK YOU / OBRIGADO! β More soon from the southern hemisphere, |

Hi Reader, What's the last place you would expect to see an art event? Probably the desert, in the middle of nowhere, Texas. In fact, this is where I just got back from. Cities Marfa Mural, paint on canvas (available) In the middle of West Texas lies an artist paradise. Marfa is a small town founded in 1883 that's sprinkled with contemporary art galleries / foundations, public sculptures and new movements taking shape. From high above, the area feels calm, almost desolate. Look closer and...
