Dickson Schneider teaches painting and art at California State University East Bay. He is represented in California by Autobody Fine Art. His work is in collections from London to Hong Kong. Mr. Schneider is the author of Every Angler’s Guide to Amazing Lures and Flies, Viking, 1997.
Over the past five years Schneider has created over 4,000 works of art to give away to the public on the street in Oakland and last December at the commercially charged “bling” spectacle of Art Basel Miami. In July he took the Project to the Kunstraum Tapir gallery in Berlin, Germany and made art there which was displayed in the gallery and available free to passersby. The Berlin project was featured on Deutschlandradio, a national Art and Culture program. Last November he and the Free Art Project spent a month at the Paolo Mejia Gallery in San Francisco.
