Preorder Mr. Wash’s new book!
Preorders are now live for Artists in Space, a book raising funds for the Art By Wash Studio & Community Center!
The 200-page hardcover book features a series of studio visits, as Mr. Wash sits down with 20 friends and peers to explore how artists cultivate environments, both physical and emotional, to nurture creative expression.
Featuring: Tala Madani, Mario Ayala, Patrisse Cullors, Peter Shire, Mel Depaz, Kenneth Gatewood, Erin D. Garcia, Maria Maea, Kohshin Finley, Anthony Lee Pittman, Gabriela Ruiz, Charles Bibbs, Tidawhitney Lek, Alfonso Gonzalez Jr., Lanise Howard, Michael Massenburg, Delfin Finley, Sonya Sombreuil, Devin Reynolds & Ozzie Juarez.
All proceeds of Artists in Space go to building the Art By Wash Studio & Community Center in Compton. Currently in its blueprint stage with support from Morphosis Architects and The NOW Institute, the center will be a space where art becomes a tool for change, offering community members a path away from incarceration and toward creative self-expression. It will also serve as a vital bridge for individuals returning home from prison, offering support and reintegration resources, especially for those who developed their artistic practice during incarceration.
Artists in Space was made possible by Brandon Kit and Tiffany Hsieh, with additional support from WePresent.
