Delzy Alarcon, a dual citizen of the United States and El Salvador, navigated a borderless journey from an early age, connecting deeply with both cultures. They earned an associate degree from Montgomery County Community College during the Covid-19 pandemic, while simultaneously interning at VisArts, and went on to graduate Summa Cum Laude from the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in 2024. At MICA, they earned a BFA in General Fine Arts, with minors in Illustration and Painting. 

As a finalist in the 2022 AXA Art Prize exhibition in New York, Alarcon’s work has gained recognition for its poignant intersection of personal experience and broader societal themes. Their dual citizenship has not only kept them close to their roots in Central America but has also fueled their commitment to community-driven art practices. Alarcon has volunteered in art workshops for elementary students, creating spaces for healing and expression. 

Currently based in Baltimore, MD, Alarcon’s practice continues to explore the transformative power of art. Whether through their paintings or educational initiatives, they seek to merge creative expression with healing practices. As a speaker at Towson University’s upcoming Comunidad event, Alarcon will share their journey, exploring how immigration has shaped their artistic vision and the role of storytelling in fostering understanding and diversity.
