Recipient of a 2017 Mass MoCA Assets for Artists Grant
In 2021 and 2022, I taught multiple classes on taste, aesthetics, & art criticism via Zoom. Called ‘Art Slosh,’ the meetings created an online arts appreciation club across age, geography, and education level, providing a tour of art from the high to the low, from the trashy to the inscrutable, from MoMA to OnlyFans.
