Chris Malloy was born and raised in Rochester, NY. He attended Alfred University receiving a BFA in sculpture in 2000. Upon graduating, he relocated to Santa Fe, NM to continue his education in sculpture. Working at Shidoni Fine Arts Foundry, he continued to develop his work and learn from the numerous artists he assisted. Chris then spent several years living and working in Fort Collins, CO. There he owned and operated his own Studio, allowing him to continue making sculpture, while also assisting many artists in the production of their work. He returned to Rochester in 2010 and lives in Fairport with his wife and two daughters. Chris has set up a studio and continues to produce and show his work. Since returning to Rochester, Chris has worked for artist Albert Paley, continuing to broaden his understanding of sculpture and public art.

Visions of Public Art was presented in 2019 as part of [Current Seen] Big Ideas. Small Venues.
Current Seen supports the region's growing contemporary art community by bringing new curatorial voices and new artists together near East Ave. and Main St. in Rochester, New York.
2019 Core Venues (Rochester Contemporary Art Center, Central Library of Rochester, Visual Studies Workshop, RIT City Art Space) and Framework Venues (galleries, community and alternative spaces, and pop-up venues) hosted curated exhibitions of local and national artists related to the general theme: our current moment / our changing city.
Building upon First Friday Rochester, Current Seen is intended to foster collaboration, help spaces achieve greater collective impact, celebrate the act of curation, and aid artists in reaching new expanded audiences. Programs include more than 20 exhibitions and events organized by both experienced and emerging curators spanning three generations. The lead organizer of Current Seen is Bleu Cease, Executive Director of Rochester Contemporary Art Center.
