Open Studio

Artist Collaboration / Content & Campaign Management / Gallery Exhibition

Developed and launched Smashbox Open Studios, an artist residency program with a mission to challenge beauty ideals.

3 artists - Uzumaki Cepeda, Randijah Simmons, and Gabriella Ruiz - were invited to participate in a month-long residency that included a grant to develop an original artwork, access to Smashbox studio space, tools, and resources, and mentorship from the brand’s in-house team of veteran make-up artists, photographers, and creatives. The platform culminated with a group exhibition at Smashbox Studios in Culver City, CA.
