ARTSKOOL episode 001

After being selected from a short list of Atlanta artists to be apart of the inaugural Lagos Atlanta Arts Exchange, I noticed that two different artists; Victor Ehikamenor and Miya Bailey are funding community art spaces the same way; with money directly from their art sales.

These two artists both believe in the value of building communities from the ground up and providing opportunities for others to walk in the door they left open. As artists, many of us who are self taught are first sponsored by our art. If we can figure out who our collectors our, they become partners in building whatever world we desire. My world includes making independent films, developing programming and curriculum and now traveling back home to do art exhibitions in three weeks utilizing an interdisciplinary mixed media style I've developed across music, art and film.
