I will be submitting artwork to compete for the BRIO Grant! I will be entering in the visual arts category by submitting poster art. I also have to come up with an artist statement discussing the project and myself as an artist. I am looking forward to winning this grant which is for Bronx artist/residents. This grant is for $3,000. Please show some support!
Inspiration for the project
I have decided to submit poster art with the theme of raising awareness and solving major world issues. It started with an idea I had for an awareness campaign to end poverty. Lyndon Johnson addressed this issue on his state of the union speech in 1964. The unofficial name was “The War On Poverty”. Poverty is an example of the corrupt paradigm which we currently follow. This corrupt paradigm which promotes inequality, unfairness, unbalanced, and injustice. Poverty should be considered to be the #1 human rights issue today.
I have decided to post of some of my amateur photography. The photos that I posted are photos that I have taken over the years in NYC. These images on print are for sale starting at $10.00 USD at various sizes.There are more photos below and more to come. I hope you enjoy!
I recently was told that I should have a separate account on Facebook for my business. This was told to me by my business councilor at SCORE. To be quite honest I was completely against it. It took me forever to get a personal account on Facebook and now I am told I should get another? What’s funny is that I like Facebook but when it comes to personal things. I love sharing things online with friends and family. As far as using it as a networking tool I felt unsure.
 and have been writing a business plan. This business plan which is under development offers bartending service & consulting. The plan also includes marketing, promotion & graphic design services.</p>

I also have a background in Graphic Design. I attended Parsons School of Design and studied abroad in Altos De Chavon in Dominican Republic.</p>
<p>Currently I am looking for investors or partners for my future business. One of our first investments would have to be the purchase of a liquor license. If you are interested in doing business please scroll down to view my contact.</p>
