Garzon is currently the Gallery Director at Residency Art in Inglewood, CA. Born and raised in Inglewood, Garzon saw that there was a dearth of commercial art spaces in South Central that centered artists’ of color and provided a platform for their work. This led to the formation of Residency Art, which is committed to celebrating contemporary artists that continue to make projects for communities of color. 

Before his work in the art space, Garzon worked in advertising and media planning as Media Director at the Publicis Groupe in Los Angeles and New York. Garzon has served on the Young Professionals’ Advisory Board of InnerCity Arts and the LA County Department of Arts and Culture public art selection committees.
