Adam Grossi is a fine artist, writer, and yoga practitioner operating out of Chicago, IL. My first exposure to his work was by fervent recommendation. A friend of mine with a passion for David Lynch’s Blue Velvet and Don DeLillo’s White Noise, had noticed my own fixation with suburban America’s dark side, and while working at the Mattress Factory Art Museum, had come across the art of Adam Grossi. At the time, Grossi was a widely exhibiting BFA student at Carnegie Mellon University, who had just been named Emerging Artist of the Year by the PCA.

Blogging for Michael Moore!
Posted on by Healthy Artists
4
We are thrilled to announce that Healthy Artists has been officially invited to blog for Michael Moore! Check out our first post for Michael’s site entitled, “‘Healthy Artists’ Film Series Captures the Heart of Single-Payer”.
Michael Moore is the pioneering filmmaker and activist behind documentary classics such as Roger & Me (1989, pictured above), and newer films such as Sicko (2007), a film which helped to expose the injustices of America’s for-profit health care system, while spotlighting the more ethical universal health care systems that exist around the world. We are honored to be in association with Moore as we continue to channel storytelling, filmmaking, and art, towards the pursuit of single-payer health care in the US.
