Artist and Poet Halim Flowers was wrongfully sentenced to life in prison at the age of 16. After serving 22 years, he was finally released in 2019, largely due to his own advocacy work. Halim has since gone on to become one of the hottest emerging artists in the contemporary art scene and has shown in galleries all over the world, spoken at Art Basel and was recently invited to speak and share his work at The Milken Conference.

Halim spent the month of January, 2023 living and painting at House of Bossi. During this time he has created 28 new paintings and immeasurable impact in our community. In line with both Halim’s and House of Bossi’s passion for giving back, we partnered with Sola Impact’s Tech Center to bring a workshop and collaborative painting experience to 25 kids in South Central LA as part of the residency program.
