How would you describe FOA and how the idea to create it came to your mind?

FOA exists to shine a light on emerging artists through printed books. There's so much great work being made today by undiscovered artists, and our goal is to show their work to the world. I originally got the idea for FOA a year after I graduated from art school. I heard a museum director say that there were no opportunities outside of an academic context, and that statement resonated with me.
