Comeback Kid: The Creative Journey of Rashad Nelson

Join us for our next “AFH Presents” Featured Artist exhibition showcasing work by AFH alum, Rashad Nelson. 

Rashad Nelson is one of the original "comeback kids" of Artists for Humanity (AFH). Boston born and raised, he found his love of art in street art, then refined his painting technique at AFH. The energy of his “graffiti bombing” runs through his abstract style, where bold strokes, colors, and painting language speak to his personal journey. Again and again, Rashad has come back stronger, more creative, and more mature, and this exhibition celebrates the artist he is today.
