Tiffany Williams
FOUNDER/Organizer
Sponsor
Tiffany Williams is a gifted ceramicist whose artistic journey has been shaped by a deep connection to nature and a vibrant sense of community. Raised in the picturesque mountain town of Durango, Colorado, Tiffany found early inspiration for her craft during her high school years, where she participated in an enriching high school ceramics program that supplied the resources and education she needed to dive into the world of ceramics.
However, it wasn't until recent years that she jumped back into the craft she loves, renewing that old passion.
Alongside her ceramics journey, Tiffany has worked a noble career as a paramedic and firefighter, demonstrating her commitment to serving and helping others in times of need. This experience imbued her with resilience, discipline, and an understanding of the fragility of life, aspects that manifest in the depth and meaning within her art. She has now transitioned into Emergency Medical Service Education to inspire the care providers of the future.
Tiffany draws inspiration from her childhood memories, particularly from visits to a local honey shop, where she marveled at the intricate world of bees. This fascination sparked her "bee collection," a series of ceramic pieces that pay homage to the delicate and organized society of bees.
Now settled in Long Beach, California, with her supportive wife and faithful husky by her side, Tiffany continues to create stunning ceramic works that echo the beauty of nature and her passion for storytelling through clay. With every piece she creates, Tiffany aims to bring joy, connection, and a deeper appreciation for the natural world to all who encounter her art.

M. Danko
FOUNDER/Organizer

M. Danko is the founder and curator of the Black Box MicroGallery. The Black Box is dedicated to showcasing artists in a community platform, and bringing art right into the neighborhood. Without the hurdles of showing in a standard size gallery, artists are free to try out their ideas, experiment, and challenge themselves to explore all of the possibilities of the space. Founded in 2021, the Black Box was only the 2nd MicroGallery to appear in Long Beach. There are now over 20.
Like the unlimited potential of a MicroGallery, M believes in the power of neighborhood-driven art festivals: Events where neighbors can get outside, see what others are working on, and be surprised and inspired.

Ben Fisher
FOUNDER/Organizer
Sponsor
Born and raised in Southern California, Ben was previously a professional skateboarder, which has nothing and everything to do with his current real estate career. Although it may be a stretch to link the two physically, the drive and determination required to succeed didn’t stop once he stepped off the skateboard. He is extremely competitive and motivated to achieve all goals in every facet of life. Outside of real estate, he enjoys golfing and sculpting alabaster in a studio behind his mid-century motel, Hacienda Del Sol, in Borrego Springs. It’s not uncommon to see him around town working on new projects helping build and promote everyone and anyone tied to his business and the local community.
