In Brief…

Preston Drum was born and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina. He earned a BFA from Memphis College of Art in 2006 and an MFA from Minneapolis College of Art and Design in 2016. His paintings, sculptures, videos and interactive installations explore notions of memory and performance through non-linear storytelling. Drum’s work is often site-specific and collaborative in nature, framing the audience as a participant in the art. His work has been exhibited throughout the Midwest and Southern United States at venues such as Goodyear Arts, The Minneapolis Institute of Art and The Walker Art Center. Drum is a member-emeritus of the Minnesota based artist group, CarryOn Homes, whose mission is to raise awareness of immigrant issues through the creation of artworks. Drum lives in the south suburbs of the Twin Cities where he wears many hats as a full-time caregiver for his children, husband, studio artist, gardener, native plant nurseryman, arts educator, and an occasional musician.
