Tony Silva

Tony Silva is a multifaceted artist, musician, dancer, designer and teacher. The son of two sculptors, Tony grew up in a highly creative atmosphere in a New York City artists' community called Westbeth. He earned his BFA in dance in 1994 from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst where he also focused on electronic music, bronze casting and design. Silva now lives with his wife Michelle Marroquin in Northampton, MA where he continues to explore the relationship between dance, music, sculpture, dreams, reality and mythology.

In July and August, Tony Silva will be assisting his father Pedro Silva with the
2008 Restoration of the Beanches around Grant's Tomb, NYC.

This project has been organized and funded by CITYarts

CITYarts', students, and groups of volunteers will work with artist Pedro Silva and his son Tony Silva to restore the Benches around Grant's Tomb. Over months of July, August 2008, teams will replace broken tiles and fit new tiles with cement. CITYarts will also create a brochure that will tell the story of how Pedro Silva, with a small team of artists and over a thousand volunteers built the benches in the summers of 1972, 73, & 74. This brochure will be available to any visitor.
