Bruno Capolongo is an established artist of Neapolitan descent whose work is collected by private and corporate collectors in addition to a growing list of public galleries and museums. With an exhibition record of over 160 exhibitions, the artist has also been represented by a number of fine art establishments, including galleries in Toronto, New York City, Montreal, and Washington DC. Capolongo is the recipient of numerous awards and honors, including the internationally coveted Elizabeth Greenshields prize three times (of which there've been few since 1955).
