The Subálme SUBLIME

A September Project in Havana

For My Solo Exhibition – Support Needed

Donation window: June 8 – July 8

Dear friends, fellow artists, and kind supporters,

I’ve been invited to mount a solo exhibition in Havana next year—a rare honor that grew out of my inclusion in the 2024 Havana Bienal. It’s an incredible opportunity, but also a serious logistical lift—and I need your help to make it happen.

WHY I’M ASKING

There’s no grant or institution backing this—just me (and, I hope, you).

This September, I’ll spend the month in Havana working in a shared studio, finishing paintings and creating new digital works inspired by the city. This trip will allow me to create on-site for the show, in collaboration with curator LIC José Fernández.

COSTS COVERED BY YOUR SUPPORT:

Important: Please don’t write “Cuba” or “Havana” in payment notes—banks get weird.

✈️ Flights + visa + luggage fees
🏠 Modest housing near the studio
🛠️ Materials & production
📦 Shipping of supplies/artworks
🔧 Local logistics

WAYS TO CONTRIBUTE:

I’ve opted out of GoFundMe-style fees—this is a direct ask, with full transparency (track donations via spreadsheet available upon request).

Give what feels good—

But if you’d like something in return, here’s what I’m offering (while supplies last)

🖼️ $10 - 25 I will personally name a wave after you and email you an image of it. All waves to be named will reside in Biscayne Bay in Miami, FL. Upon special request a wave off the cost of Havana may be named for you for an additonal fee of 1 cuban peso (0.042 USD).

📬 You’re welcome to donate without receiving a gift—gratitude is already yours.
