Born in El Paso but raised in Austin, Michael Anthony García earned his BFA from Austin College in 1996. A multidisciplinary artist, García focuses predominantly on found-object sculpture, installation, and performance art. García has also worked extensively as an independent curator, co-founding the powerhouse art collective Los Outsiders and curating many large-scale exhibitions for both local and international artists. A passionate creator, García has won multiple awards for both his curatorial and sculptural work.

Jaime Salvador Castillo is an independent curator and the current Arts Commissioner of District 2 for the City of Austin. In 2005, he received his BFA in Studio Art from the University of Texas at Austin. A committed arts professional, Castillo has sat on the City of Austin's Art in Public Places Panel since 2009 and served as Chair from 2014-2015. He was the Chair of the Curatorial Board for Generous Art from 2014-2015, a founding member of Los Outsiders art collective until 2015, the portfolio advisor for "Young Artists @ Arthouse," and a contributing arts writer for The Austin Chronicle. Castillo has organized public discussions and curated local, regional and national artists in exhibitions. Castillo's current project, Eyes Got It, is an open art competition offering critical reviews and exhibition opportunities.

Castillo and García often collaborate, such as their work in the award-winning artistic and curatorial collective Los Outsiders. Formed in 2007, the collective seeks to engage with the community as well as develop creative platforms and artistic dialog for local, national, and international artists. Although Castillo has since left the collective, Los Outsiders continues to create opportunities for public engagement and creative place-making with video-podcasts, performances, symposiums and exhibitions.
