One New York City artist is supporting struggling creatives during the COVID pandemic by purchasing over $70,000 worth of art nationwide. ๐จ๐๏ธ
Black artist Guy Stanley Philoche currently lives in a modest studio apartment in Harlem, but it could double as a remarkable art gallery – boasting tens of thousands of dollars in artwork dressing its walls.
