Today we’d like to introduce you to Alexa & Edreys Wajed.
Hi Alexa & Edreys, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Eat Off Art is a collaborative of artists, educators and entrepreneurs working to build a more empathetic community. We do this through creating and sharing our art, welcoming people into our studio and community space and investing in fellow entrepreneurs.
Alexa and Edreys Wajed, the founders of Eat Off Art, are dynamic artists and creative change agents. Eat Off Art is a multi-dimensional agency, platform, and affirmation all in one, providing transformative experiences through creativity, food, and art, countering the adage of the “starving artist,” in subscription to a new narrative of “thriving artists.”
Eat Off Art is a family-owned and family-run small business based in Buffalo, NY. A husband and wife tandem, both from a lineage of brilliant-minded thinkers, tinkerers, artists, and craftsmen, driven to continue a legacy of creativity.
“Together they are an unstoppable duo who make up Eat Off Art bringing together creative engagement with food politics and the struggle for race and social justice through visual art, sound, and fashion with a critical and creative genius that is truly unique.” – Dr. Camilo Trumper Associate Professor of History, Director of Undergraduate Studies – University at Buffalo (SUNY)
Our main intent is to inspire others through our crafts, passions, and endeavors to believe that there is a way to be successful, sustainable, and profitable as artists, especially married artists, with creative children in tow.
Our services include:
– Creative problem solving and consulting for consumers and business owners
– Illustration, graphic design, and logo development
– Project management
-Licensed cooking demonstration, culinary classes and consulting
-Jewelry design and manufacturing
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Navigating business and the ebbs and flows of day-to-day life, family, health, grief and most importantly, love for one another has been challenging and the most rewarding part of the entire process.
As you know, we’re big fans of Eat Off Art LLC. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
