Dana Robinson (b.1990) is a Black, queer, artist. Robinson was born in Brooklyn, raised in St. Petersburg, FL, and currently living in Brooklyn, NY. Her art practice engages with themes of youth, femme identity, ownership, and nostalgia, utilizing a diverse array of mediums including painting, collage, printmaking, and fabric. Her distinctive approach often incorporates vintage Black media, recontextualizing it through a combination of reproduction and alteration to blur traditional lines.

Robinson’s dynamic body of work has been showcased at prominent venues such as the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art, Texas State University, Maryland Institute College of Art, A.I.R. Gallery, 92nd Street Y, and The Bureau of General Services—Queer Division. Not limited to traditional gallery spaces, her talents extend into public art installations, including notable projects for ArtBridge in Bushwick and the Empire State Building in New York. Additionally, Robinson’s skills in art curation are exemplified in her role as Arts Editor for APOGEE Journal.

Her contributions to the field have been recognized with fellowships and residencies, including those at A.I.R Gallery and the International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP). She has received prestigious grants from the Puffin Foundation and the New York Council on the Arts, which supported her installation for the Wassaic Project’s winter show.

Her work has also been featured in respected publications like the New York Times Magazine and The Baffler and has been critically discussed in It’s Nice That, Ain’t Bad magazine, and VICE. Robinson’s recent  international engagement includes exhibitions at the MECA Art Fair in Santo Domingo, DR, and Sanji Gallery in Seoul, South Korea.

She has recently shown her work at Yankee Stadium in New York and at Zieher Smith in Nashville, TN.
