Performance artist Alton Dulaney might as well have Art as his middle name. As Public Art Program Director and Curator for all of the airports in Houston, Texas, Alton chooses how to allocate the city\u2019s substantial budget for displaying amazing works of art.

As the best and only \u201cWorld\u2019s Greatest Gift Wrap Artist\u2019 Alton leveraged his success into The Great Gift Exchange, an interview style How-To show that ran on YouTube for the holiday season in 2020.

Also- in our formative younger years, Alton and I helped create Pe.A.Ch., the Performance Art Church- a performance art collective in the early 90s in Austin, Texas that caused mayhem and sublime experiences in music and theater venues across the south.
