Hello all

Its been a while since we've updated you guys on our events. We have been very busy we recently had our launch exhibition on the the 11th of September. Special thanks to everyone who came out and supported us and a special thanks to Hancock 309!






On October 17th Destiny and I had the opportunity to curate a special exhibition at Humphries St Studios organized by Articulation, a Boston based theater group. Tory Bullock who is a member of the Articulation as well as a good friend of ours organized the event, which included live performances and amazing artwork artwork by Boston artists. There was a huge turnout and a wonderful time was had by all. Special thanks to Tory Bullock and Articulation and to all those who came out and supported the show! Be sure to Check out this video highlighting the show







This past Friday was the opening reception for Dorchester open studios. The event was held at Hancock 309 and featured the work of many local artists including Destiny and I as well as artists associated with the Dorchester Arts Collaborative. Some of the visitors included city councilwoman at large Ayanna Pressley (featured in the Photo below) along her Director of external relations Jackney Prioly. I had the honor of talking with them about our artists collective.

Sneak Peek!!!!!

Sorry for the bad quality image, I have lost my camera but I really wanted to share this with you all. Maybe this will make you want to see it in person. This is one of the collaborations that Stephen Hamilton and I have been working on for the past few weeks. We work really well together!

Almost time!!!!

We are so excited that this day has come so quickly and as we run around getting the last bit of things together. We are just excited to be in the space that hold our work to introduce Traditions Remixed to the world. We have even began planning new things in the works and are excited to have all the support. So save the date!

Saturday September 11, 4pm - 8pm @ Hancock 309 Gallery and Consignment

Artist of the Week: Gustav Klimt

Gustav Kilmt continues to be the center of our conversations even as decades have passed. It amazes me how creative and insightful he was as a creator. He presents his viewer with so much information yet, never reveals it all.

" I can paint and draw. I believe this myself and a few other people say that they believe this too. But I'm not certain of whether it's true. " - Gustav Klimt

Traditions Remixed loves to zone out

So we have been off the map for a bit, but we have been in the studio excited about our collaboration projects. OUr early mornings and late nights have been filled with coffee and music. Stephen and I both have a passion for music, though neither one of us is a musician we can appreciate a good sound. Especially the oldies. We may be young but we are Traditions Remixed!

Artist of the Week: Carlos Rolon

The arts have always been a major part of my life but I became more serious about it throughout middle school and high school. While in high school I became involved with a local gallery, Artspace in New Haven, Ct. I was a part of the Apprentice Program, where high school students from all over the city came to work with a professional artist. One of our day trips we had the opportunity to visit Real Art Ways in Hartford. I remember the space blowing me away because it was so huge. They were hosting a show called "None of the Above." It featured artists of Hispanic decent that produced work that was beyond the expected racial frame. There was one of every kind present. Paintings, instillations, sculptures, video, photography, etc.



Carlos "Dzine" Rolon was one of the artist that showed work, and though I enjoyed most of the other work. I remember being so mesmerized by his work. I stood in front of this massive wall painting instillation and trying to piece together how he ever made it possible. So I did what every artist does, grabbed a pen and paper and wrote down every single material listed on his label. Over the years I have attempted to figure it out but it seems it is best to admire. I think seeing his work in the being stages of my artmaking has highly influenced my color palette, material and scale! So thank you Carlos Rolon!

Introduction Traditions Remixed

It has truly been a short time coming. Traditions Remixed will be having our first show in September at Hancock 309 Gallery and Consignment in Dorchester. So many people have been so supportive to our artistic collective and that honestly gives us the energy to continue to do what we do. We are excited to show off what we have been working on and what we have done. This show's goal is to introduce ourselves as professional artists and to exhibit our growth. Please be sure to stop by during the duration of the show in the month of September. We will be in the studio until then!
