About Eat Off Art
Eat Off Art is a creative design agency focused on building community based in Buffalo, NY. 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. Their main intent is to inspire others through their 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.
“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)
