After a successful month spent on a small farm in upstate New York as an Artist in Residence with Chashama, a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to helping artists find the space they need, Jason was awarded with a Chashama Visual Arts Studio Award. Following a productive run to close out 2009, Jason was re-awarded in early 2010, allowing him to continue in the same studio located in the Brooklyn Army Terminal. The artist is deeply grateful to Chashama for it's continued support and vote of confidence.
