First in 2015 for the project titled The City Chalkboard, and then again for Artborne Magazine, the Orlando chapter of the Awesome Foundation awarded me funds to continue building my vision.
In 2015 I exhibited The City Chalkboard during Creative City Project. There was a side street along Orange Ave. that was loaded with Uhauls (they were actually Ryder), and within the bowels of each cargo van, there was an artist and his project. Mine was filled from top to bottom with chalkboards, each 4ft x 8ft, and asked any passing participants to share their secrets.
In 2016 the funds from the Awesome Foundation were used to continue the publication of Artborne Magazine.
