Art outreach at Common Good 2012-2014
In Lexington, Kentucky I worked for Lexington Art League. I organized events and community outreach efforts. During my tenure from 2011 through 2013 I established a relationship with Common Good, an after school community located close to The Lexington Art League or LAL. The students would make regular visits to the gallery and then do related art projects. After I left LAL I continues to work weekly with Common Good until moving to Minnesota in summer 2014.

Community Outreach with LAL 2011-2013
At Lexington Art League I helped set up a live demonstration of graffiti artists in downtown Lexington as part of a pop-up sculpture show that coincided with the monthly gallery hop. Joel Feldman, a local printmaker and faculty at University of Kentucky, collaborated with myself and the students at Common Good to produce a series of prints about bullying. Once the series was complete LAL hosted the artists and families as Joel signed the work with the young artists and presented them with their own copies. 2011-2013

Founder of still running cooperative gallery BOZART
Bozart Cooperative was founded in Charlottesville, Virginia in 1994-95 by myself and two other women. It began off of the downtown mall and within a few months moved to be right on the walking mall.
We created it for emerging artists to show their work. We held monthly openings, critiques and also had a program where we hung art around town in offices. Over the last 25+ years it has helped hundreds of artists show their work. It no longer has a phyical space but continues to operate as a collective.
