Winners Over 18

Ithaca, NY

I am the founder of B-Side Art, a nascent non-profit organization that seeks to empower individuals to regain their agency through art. “Democratia” is the messenger bearing the vote of the people. She bears the laurel crown of victory for democracy wins when the scales of justice are balanced and every vote is counted. She is caked in mud as a reminder that democracy takes hard work. When the sun rises on election day, will Democratia carry your ballot?

Ithaca, NY

I’m a printmaker, graffiti artist, and designer passionate about the intersections of art and justice.  I coordinate murals throughout Ithaca as part of an art and culture strategy for community organizing and justice movement building. Everyone is an artist – including you. Together we are strong. These pieces are spray-painted stencils with photo overlays of inspiring leaders. Thank you for inspiring me and many others to get out the vote! This one is dedicated to Kirby Edmonds.
