We’re excited to hosting San Diego artist, performer, activist & educator, Perry Vasquez this month for our CreativeMornings event. 

Born in Los Angeles but transplanted to North Carolina at a young age, Perry’s early years were shaped by the musical culture of gospel, blues, rock and bluegrass. “My first formal art lessons were thanks to the intervention of concerned church ladies who took me outside to practice sketching landscapes.” 

Perry went on to receive an A.B. in Political Science and Studio Art from Stanford University during which time he became interested in publishing and put together his own publication, Nihl Magazine while interning at WET Magazine in the summer of 1981. 

Perry has since served as Assistant Curator at the Centro Cultural de la Raza, graphics specialist at the Interactive Cognition Lab at UCSD, operator of Ice Gallery, all while exploring his fine art skills and showing his work around prominent galleries and museums. 

In 2008, Perry made his first appearance in the documentary film world. He produced Fotoaktion!, a film about the life and work of artist Dois “Boris” Berman. 

He continues to teach, paint, and serve on the Board of Directors at The New Children’s Museum in San Diego.
