We’ve been steadily collecting new artwork over the past year and a half from a range of emerging and established artists, including June Edmonds, Kohshin Finley, Otto Neals, Charles Searles, YoYo Lander, Michael Kelly Williams, Greg Breda, Carl “Dingbat Smith”, Henry Bannarn, and more. We’re thrilled to add new voices and perspectives to the collection, and plan to share more about individual artists down the road.
