Alexis Zambrano

Meet Alexis Zambrano, winner of Tombolo's inaugural Artist Residency Program (2022). Chosen from nearly 200 applicants, Zambrano collaborated with Tombolo on two shirts; his Residency culminated in a November 2022 exhibition in the Tombolo Flagship Store at 208 Mott St., NYC.

Thanks to the enthusiastic response to the program, Tombolo has made the Residency annual. Applications for the 2023 Residency open on February 1st and will close on February 21st.
