Introducing Our Winter 2026 Artist-in-Residence!

We are thrilled to share that our artist-in-residence program in Santa Monica, CA continues to grow! This winter, we’re excited to welcome our third resident, Joshua Nazario.

Nazario’s work is inspired by Puerto Rican life, sports, and popular culture, exploring self-identity through industrial materials and everyday objects. During the seven-week residency in California, Nazario will create new a new body of work consisting of original paintings and a limited-edition print. Nazario states, “I’m incredibly thrilled to be a part of this residency—not only because of what ART FOR CHANGE represents, but also for the chance to create and experiment in a new space and in a new city I have yet to visit.”

This year, ART FOR CHANGE is partnering with Feeding America, the largest domestic hunger-relief organization in the United States, which operates a network of 200 food banks nationwide—including locations in Puerto Rico, California, and New York. For every artwork sold, a portion of proceeds will go directly to Feeding America, providing at least ten meals per dollar donated.
