Doing the Work: A Conversation on Art & Activism with Unique Fair

In this episode of Behind the Studio Door, we're talking to artist, activist and teacher, Unique Fair.

Unique Fair is a Fine Artist from Rochester, NY who seeks to use his skill set as an artist and activist to empower people to be the change they wish to see in the world. This vision has led Unique to craft artwork that focuses on the themes of oppression, liberation, and the friction between.

In this episode we dig into Unique's artistic process, and how he weaves his life experiences and perspective as a black queer man into his impactful visual work.

Unique has an exhibition coming up at Main Street Arts in Clifton Springs titled "Facing Forward" opening on March 1st - find out more at mainstreetarts.org.
