About the Artist: Josh Madson is a dynamic and prolific photographer, director and mural artist who has worked internationally from various home bases in LA, NYC, and Tokyo.

What started as a series of local events has continued to grow into a major community project, encompassing over 12,000 subjects. Since then, Josh has expanded Community Collage to internationally renowned organizations, universities, and communities nationwide.
