One of the April EBF residents: Paolo Arao

Paolo Arao is a Brooklyn-based, Filipino-American artist working in painting, textiles, and collage.

"Being here has been an immense gift. I feel incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to work in this beautifully designed and inspiring space. And I’m grateful to be in residence with a dynamic and engaging group of artists and humans. I have cherished our time together, our conversations and all our laughter. It’s been a restorative experience and one that I will always remember." - Paolo Arao
