Join BOFFO as we welcome Texas Isaiah to Fire Island at his Artist Talk!

Texas Isaiah is a first-generation visual storyteller born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, and currently residing in Los Angeles, CA. He is an autodidact with a strong passion for travel, allowing his work and creative process to transcend geographical boundaries.

He received the Art Matters grant in 2018 and completed an artist residency at The Studio Museum in Harlem for the 2020-2021 term. Additionally, he won a Silver award at the 2020 Clio Awards for visual curation on the "Being Seen" podcast and was a finalist for the 2022 Artadia Los Angeles Award.
