Dan Colen’s works range from painting and sculpture to installation and performance, interrogating the relationship between object and symbolic meaning. He is also the founder of Sky High Farm, a nonprofit improving access to fresh, nutritious food for New Yorkers living in underserved communities. He received a BFA in 2001 from the Rhode Island School of Design, Providence. Colen was born in 1979 in New Jersey, and lives and works in New York.
Jon Gray is the Co-Founder of Bronx-born creative collective Ghetto Gastro, defining their own lane that transcends food, art, music, fashion, and design. Jon's curiosity has taken him around the globe and has had him seated across the table from world renowned thinkers, artists and chefs, but he's most passionate about home. The Bronx is part of the team's lifeblood, and every piece of the Ghetto Gastro universe is meant to uplift and celebrate the borough, and other places like it, as an unsung driver of global culture.Â
