Artist Statement

Mickey Aloisio is an artist based in Brooklyn, NY. Aloisio received his AAS from Suffolk County Community College, his BFA from the Fashion Institute of Technology, and his MFA from the School of Art at Yale University.

He is a recipient of the Eliza Prize, awarded by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the Pride Photo Award in Amsterdam, as well as the Alice Kimball English Traveling Fellowship, and the Critical Practice Research Grant, both awarded by the Yale School of Art.
