We're so pleased to announce our latest art exhibition, The Pearls That Were His Eyes, featuring artist Ben Sloat and curated by Julia Kirchmer.

We had the chance to speak to our latest artist-in-residence, New York-based artist and illustrator Felicia Liang, about identity, what she finds inspiring, and her art as activism.

We spoke with the teacher of the Apex for Youth Art Portfolio program, the pressures some of her students face, and the importance of articulating one’s passion, even beyond one’s art.

We had the chance to speak with the Lower East Side native about the inspiration behind his photographs, how he decided to become an artist, and the many layers of his work.
