After years of artistic collaboration with one another, we created Galamad Artist Collective to put a name with our projects. We were born and raised and also based in Staten Island, NYC and both come from Italian-American Backgrounds. Most of our projects are based in or about NYC. We speak to our experiences around NYC and our heritage. After heavily working with children and with the public for many years, we decided we wanted to strive to continue to be philanthropic for years to come. Through art competitions, grants, and donations we hope to be able to bring attention to and work with charities that need our help. We also want to highlight and support artists from different backgrounds.
