Tito Way Billboards
Kim Bond
September 6, 2024 – January 12, 2025
For nearly four decades, Kim Bond (b. 1963, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) has explored the intersections of paranormal phenomena and the pursuit of a kinder, more inclusive world through her multidisciplinary practice encompassing drawings, paintings, sculptures, and writings. In conversation with her solo exhibition at 707 Penn Gallery, Bond’s work will be installed in Tito Way through December 2024.
Since 2018, Bond has been a resident artist at VaultArt Studio, a progressive arts organization and project of Achieva that supports and promotes the inclusion of artists with disabilities in contemporary art by providing professional-level arts instruction in a supportive studio environment. Bond’s affiliation with VaultArt Studio has allowed her to further develop and professionalize her artistic practice, engage with a diverse community of artists, and continue to advocate for inclusivity through her work. Her contributions to the studio and the broader community exemplify her commitment to creating a world where differences are embraced and celebrated.
