Dallas Andrew Graham

Dallas Andrew Graham (he/him) is an American artist, writer, illustrator, designer, and publisher. For over a decade, he founded and led the Red Fred Project, a publishing initiative that empowered children living with rare diseases to become published authors. Together with his young collaborators, Graham produced 30 children’s books with participants from more than 20 U.S. states. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Graham compiled and produced 3,651 Years Lived: Global Poetry & Prose Reflecting the Pandemic, a collective work featuring 100 contributors across eight countries, ranging in age from 17 to 94. His most recent body of work, ABSLTLY AMZNG ANMLS: Salt Lake City, was created in collaboration with five medically fragile children and realized as a series of large-scale sculptural installations. The project features playful, vividly colored animals native to Utah—each sculpture a hybrid of a threatened species and a thriving one—celebrating resilience, imagination, and coexistence.
