EFA STUDIO PROGRAM: Member Artists

Greg Kwiatek

In the summer of 2023, we saw sky’s that were apocalyptic. They were the result of wild fires in Canada. Wild fires have become a common presence in the world. They are caused by climate change, making them more frequent with warmer dryer conditions, leading to longer more active fire seasons. The paintings represented in the image here are my reaction to what I saw as a result of the Canadian wild fires.

EFA Studio Program

The Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts Studio Program

The EFA Studio Program is housed in eight floors of the EFA building located in Midtown Manhattan’s Fashion District. The Studio Program maintains artists studios of various size and shape for up to 80 member-artists. One of three programs at EFA, the members of the EFA Studios program are part of a community that includes The Project Space and the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop. The Studio Program provides artists the rare opportunity to work in a professional arts community inside Manhattan and in close proximity to the city’s primary gallery districts. EFA facilitates interaction with dealers, curators and critics to provide continued development for member-artists. Unique among studio programs in New York City, EFA is one of the few remaining arts organizations still providing long-term workspace in Manhattan.
