Horacio Rodriguez is an artist, educator, and curator originally from Houston, TX. Horacio moved to Utah in 2016 via the Morales fellowship at the University of Utah. Since completing his fellowship, Horacio has shown his work extensively, including at Granary Arts as well as a residency and show at the Utah Museum of Contemporary Arts. In 2020 Horacio received the Mellon Foundation Projecting All Voices Fellowship out of ASU's Herberger School of Design, where he focused on curating diverse and underrepresented voices in the arts.
