ARTISTS FOR BIDEN
Artists for Biden coincided with the launch of Platform, a new marketplace offering art online to a global audience of collectors.
More than one hundred artists and estates donated work to help elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as the next President and Vice President of the United States, and to ensure Democratic victories up and down the ballot in November 2020. All proceeds were given to the Biden Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee authorized by Biden for President, the Democratic National Committee, and forty-seven State Democratic Parties.
As Photography Lead, I established project-specific image standards; relayed logistics to in-house teams; facilitated asset production and file management; maintained artist and estate outreach; maintained up to date statuses of visuals and builds. I also supported Content Leads as needed.
As an Online Viewing Room Editor, I was responsible for contributing to the final web build of Artists for Biden, incorporating and modifying final image assets, layouts, and text using in-house web building tools.
“Artists are historians . . . There is always context to art and an artist—artists, they’re aware of the moment in which they exist.”¹
– Kamala Harris, September 29, 2020
