On this episode I'm joined by Danny Baez. Originally from the Dominican republic, Danny moved to New York City when he was 18. His journey in the arts can be considered coincidental but I don't believe in coincidences. Everything in life happens for a reason and the places that we find ourselves are not by accident. Danny has built a career over decades rooted in supporting his friends and extended community. He is a co-founder of ARTNOIR, the majority women nonprofit organization that amplifies the work of BIPOC artists across the globe. He is the founder of REGULARNORMAL gallery. Danny apprenticed with Gavin Brown for a time before carving out his own path. He’s worked with artists such as Aya Brown, Melissa Joseph, Na’ye Perez, Khari Turner, and more.
We're in New York City on the eve of MECA, the art fair Danny co-founded in 2017 in San Juan Puerto Rico when we sit down to talk. This is the first year the fair places host to his native country of DR.
