{"id":89,"name":"Erin Salazar","url":"","description":"Erin Salazar is an artist, muralist, seamstress and a public art curator. In 2015, Erin was selected as Emerging City Champion through 8-80 Cities and Knight Foundation. This fellowship equipped her with the networks and resources to help create a healthier, safer, more vibrant San Jose.\r\n\r\nIn 2014 she put into motion a plan she's had since founding the mural arts club at San Jose State University, the Exhibition District (ExD). Salazar is the Founder and Executive Director of ExD, a nonprofit in San Jose. ExD\u2019s first milestone is to create a public street art gallery with 40,000 square feet of fresh artwork in the next 5 years that synchronously stimulates the creative economy. She has led beautification and advocacy projects including three murals totalling 4,000sf of otherwise bland vertical space. \r\n\r\nErin\u2019s mission is to remove the word \u201cstarving\u201d from the artists industry. Her favorite color is black.","link":"https:\/\/www.artsjournal.com\/fieldnotes\/author\/erin-salazar\/","slug":"erin-salazar","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/909dadc41823679440ccdc698dd6b3c3115239da7d25aa5558029d593c02e54a?s=24&d=mm&r=g","48":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/909dadc41823679440ccdc698dd6b3c3115239da7d25aa5558029d593c02e54a?s=48&d=mm&r=g","96":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/909dadc41823679440ccdc698dd6b3c3115239da7d25aa5558029d593c02e54a?s=96&d=mm&r=g","128":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/909dadc41823679440ccdc698dd6b3c3115239da7d25aa5558029d593c02e54a?s=128&d=mm&r=g"},"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artsjournal.com\/fieldnotes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/89","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artsjournal.com\/fieldnotes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users"}]}}
