Selected Community Work

Outside Art: Plattsburgh Public Art Project (2016-)

I co-founded Outside Art: Plattsburgh Public Art Project, a community organization that produces and creates public art with Amy Guglielmo in 2016. We work with local, regional, and national artists to animate public space and build community. Outside Art has produced 19 murals in 8 years.

NEA Big Read (2018)

I won a National Endowment for the Arts Big Read grant to produce a community-wide reading festival of The Round House by Louise Erdrich. I partnered with the Akwesasne Library and Cultural Center, the Native North American Traveling College, Joseph Bruchac, the Plattsburgh Public Library, Strand Center for the Arts, Mountain Lake PBS, the Plattsburgh City School District, City of Plattsburgh, Clinton Community College, SUNY Plattsburgh, and the Lake Champlain International Film Festival to produce over 25 events over the month of April in 2018.
