Celebrating a Milestone
Official collaboration with the New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA)
I’m pleased to share that my projects, A Tax Paid in Flesh and What Lies Underfoot, are now officially fiscally sponsored by the New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
NYFA’s sponsorship strengthens the research, production, and community engagement components behind these works and provides a formal framework for long-term development.
This support marks an important structural step in the life of both projects. Fiscal sponsorship allows them to receive tax-deductible contributions and expands their capacity to grow into large-scale installation, painting, video, and public programming.
Grateful for the support and looking forward to building the next phase.
