We had the good fortune of connecting with Stencilspray and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Stencilspray, what habits do you feel play an important role in your life?
Under promising and over delivering. Standing up when people enter the room. Making an honest effort to remember people’s names. Creating win-win scenarios and proposing them. Tipping well. Respecting some gatekeepers and going around others.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I curate the work of 90 artists in Charlotte, NC and find places for them to display their work. I specialize in turning under-utilized or abandoned spaces into temporary art galleries. Yes it was easy, because Charlotte has a dope art community and it needs places to be seen.
I have learned that people in the big city want tiny art. They are in apartments temporarily not homes permanently. Art does not have to be serious, it doesn’t have to be framed. People want a cartoon possum with a banjo more than they want a classic still-life.
I want the world to know that they don’t have to die in offices and they should quit jobs they find unethical. Make the world better not worse. Be ridiculous.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
