Please join The Patty Disney Center for Life & Work for an engaging and wide-ranging panel discussion between Theresa Daddezio, Alex Paik, and Jen Hitchings on starting and managing artist-run galleries, curating, and fostering artist communities all while managing their own artistic careers.

His work has also been featured in group exhibitions at BravinLee Projects, Ruschman Gallery, and MONO Practice, among others.
