Writer and photographer based in central North Carolina

Hi there! I’m Robert Alan Grand, a writer and photographer in Winston-Salem, NC. My writings on art and culture have appeared in Art in America, The Bitter Southerner, and the Oxford American, among others, and my photographs of the rural South have appeared in numerous exhibitions and regional publications.

Raised in Greenville, South Carolina, I have a BFA in Photography from Watkins College of Art in Nashville, TN. After college, I moved to Queens, New York, and from 2014-2019, I was the co-founder and co-director of Kimberly-Klark, an interdisciplinary project space in Ridgewood.

Currently, I am the Director of Marketing for the Sawtooth School of Visual Art and the Carolinas Editor-at-Large for Burnaway.
