Jason Craighead is a recognized leader in the North Carolina art scene. His work has been featured in many solo and group exhibitions throughout the Southeastern United States, and is included in many private and public collections throughout the United States and internationally. Jason has been an active participant in the Raleigh arts community for many years. He is a member of the City of Raleigh Arts Commission and serves on the Grants Committee. He is co-founder of Switchhouse, a working studio space and gallery that he and artist Dave Green completed in the spring of 2014. Jason’s process is one of expressive, emotionally charged mark-making that is raw and honest. Working in mixed media, his exploration of space and line is often compared to the expressionistic, gestural painters of the mid-20th century. A resident of downtown Raleigh for 16 years, he grew up in Florida where he studied art at Gulf Coast Community College and Florida State University. Jason is currently represented by Tinney Contemporary in Nashville, TN and Cheryl Hazan Contemporary in New York City.
