BROOKLYN STREET ART LOVES YOU MORE EVERY DAY
As most people know, Kathy and Erwin are the co-founders of the Bed-Stuy Art Residency. Their love for the arts and the artists has guided their principles of sharing what they have with others. The residency provides a living space and a studio, free of rent, and a modest stipend to a very eclectic selection of international and American artists to create in a safe and quiet environment. At the end of the residency, which lasts for a month, Kathy and Erwing organize a party and an informal art exhibition for the visiting artist, and with their encouragement, the artist exhibits the works of art they created during their residency. Twelve artists participating in the residency have been selected to exhibit in a group show at LaMamaGalleria opening today.
“Rooted in compassion for artists’ struggles and a deep love of art, our family-run (Kathy Kupka, Erwin Bakx, Marshall Kupka-Moore) initiative ensures a supportive, inspiring environment. We foster diversity, cultural exchange, and community engagement with a vision to empower artists globally through mentorship and resource provision” – Bed-Stuy Art Residency
