When I see art I look for colors that are therapeutic, playful, and rhythmic. My experiences with art varies depending on the type of mood I am in. When I am lacking inspiration I analyze historical art. When I am feeling confident I will create whatever comes to mind. Either way I figure out solutions to create new concepts and ideas.
Mixed Medium is a creative cafe studio that provides a space for all artist of different mediums. The venue will advocate the importance of creative expression in marginalized communites. The cafe studio will cater to painting, writing, drawing, digital art, poetry, musical events and any other forms of artistic expression. Studies have shown there is a lack of constructive, positive, and safe places in marginalized, black/brown communities. Overall, this effects the youth in those communities which leads to negative outcomes (i.e. crime, lack of inspiration, poor judgments). These issues contribute to character development or lack thereof individuals in those communities.
Unique Value
“Creativity, culture, and belonging are just as essential as clean water. This is not just rhetoric. Study after study shows us that social infrastructure can impact quality of life, longevity, our ability to withstand a major crisis like a pandemic, and our ability to withstand chronic trauma over time.”
- F.W. Philip Barash City Planning and Urban Affairs Program at Boston University
