Anthony Jimenez in his words:
I am a second generation Latinx Artist, muralist, and educator, residing in San Francisco CA; I hold a B.A. in Visual and Public Art. I grew up in the Bay Area, where cultural diversity influenced my ideology.
In college, I was inspired to get an art degree when I saw how powerful visual imagery was. My program focused on how to use our art reciprocally with the community to change our public spaces for the better. This molded how I saw my practice, and I realized that art is a vessel for change.
When I moved to San Francisco, I took initiative to seek mentors, other Latinos who could guide how to serve poc, indigenous and underserved communities, as well as new artistic techniques. I found that community in the vibrant arts & culture of the Mission District, where my peers share the same mission as me — to influence public discourse for the greater good through the Arts, and to celebrate our heritage and roots so that we may empower others like us.
Isaiah Mostafa
‘Music to stretch to’ is what Bay Area native and Brooklyn-based Isaiah Mostafa calls his sultry, heavenly, and haunting approach to contemporary R&B. Futuristic throwbacks with soft layered vocals over quirky production and dreamy beats. On the first full moon of the year, Isaiah embarked on his original series 'The 37 Week Challenge' where he is writing, producing and releasing a new song every Thursday for 37 weeks straight —on all platforms. Each track being released in conjunction with a high quality music video. The series is set to tour a string of galleries in New York, Los Angeles and The Bay Area — showcasing not only the music from the challenge, but the visuals as well.
