Emerging Artist, January–April 2025

Mark Rowan is a 19-year-old artist with big dreams and amazing talent. He is the first artist to join our 2025 Emerging Artist Program at Art Box Gallery and Studios. For the next four months, Mark will be working hard to improve his art and get ready for his first big gallery show.

With help from Alexter Albury, our Director of Emerging Artists and Community Outreach, Mark is learning new techniques like mixed media and collage. He’s also getting better at his drawing and painting skills.

A Love for Art

Mark has loved making art ever since he was a kid. He finds inspiration in the world around him and uses his artwork to share stories and feelings. You can see the work of other local artists on our Meet Our Artists page.
