What would you do with $25,000?“If I won the $25,000, I wouldn’t just invest in my art—I’d invest in access to it, and share the experience on how to create it. I’d use the funds to create a small, art experience that brings my work directly into communities that don’t usually have access to galleries. A portion would go toward materials and production, and the rest toward workshops where people—especially young creatives—can learn create, and feel seen through art.
