Bianca Valencia Criscuolo, a Parsons School of Design graduate with a scholarship in illustration and East Asian art, cultivates artists and promotes art access. Her curatorial experience with Contemporary Art Modern Project Galleries, including events like Art Basel, ignited her passion for supporting fellow artists. Criscuolo held her first solo show at 25, co-leads her local artist guild, and is active in the Manhattan-based "Call to Gather" collective. Collaborations include work with artists like Clara Fiallo, Zhang Guang-Yu, and Makoto Fujimura.

Her art explores the intersection of the divine and physical, seeking truth, contemplation, and hope. Advocacy work with Embers International and training with the International Arts Movement's Kintsugi initiative, focusing on beauty in brokenness, further shape her artistic vision.

Based at The Knowlton in Bridgeport, CT, Criscuolo enjoys the collaborative art community while also traveling nationally to speak on the power of art and creativity to heal.
