About
At the various Edge City popup villages, we are dedicating a large effort towards art programming. Creativity is a driver for change, and we believe it should be core to the experience as we explore new ways of co-living and collaborating.
Impact
Edge City’s art programming helps our attendees see new possible futures, transforming their visions for what they build. Our popup cities are IRL labs for experimentation with tech and social innovation, so art is a critical component of that.
Progress
Our team have done 3 popup villages (Zuzalu, ZuConnect, and Edge City Denver) and they have all had a big art presence because of our team pushing for it. We got a small grant from Optimism to feature W❤️TA artists at our next event: Edge Esmeralda
Team
As co-founder of EC and an early Artsy employee, I've long explored art's role in accelerating human flourishing. I thrive in a community of curious, playful, and creative individuals from diverse backgrounds, all ready to explore and innovate.
