Artis is from Ellenwood, Georgia, and graduated from Kennesaw State University with a degree in geography, minors in Spanish and environmental studies, and a certificate in GIS. Guided by his passions for exploring connections between food, culture, and sustainable agriculture, Artis conducted research on community garden planning, which he presented to lawmakers in the Georgia General Assembly in Atlanta. He also participated in the Doris Duke Conservation Scholars Program at the University of Washington, where he worked in tandem to develop a food justice-based curriculum for youth at the Danny Woo Community Garden in the Chinatown-International District. As an Emerson Fellow, he hopes to continue learning about community food systems and their mitigating effects on hunger.
