Support Public Art with a Tax Deductible Donation
I’m raising funds to support my 2026 public art projects, and I’d be grateful for your support. All contributions (tax deductible) go directly to production costs for installations through my fiscal sponsor, The Field.
I believe public art is critically important. When installations live in our parks and shared spaces, they create moments of connection that remind us we’re part of a larger community. Today, when so much in the world pushes us apart, those shared experiences matter.
Projects like Happy to See You in Washington Market Park and Hyper Human in the Kaufman Arcade demonstrated how much people welcome these moments. I’m continuing that work in 2026 with new installations across the city.
Please help me by supporting this work.
Thank you for helping bring more public art into our shared spaces.*
