Carina will produce a yearlong series of six group exhibitions geared toward new artists, specifically women and artists from the LGBTQ community. The shows will allow artists to exhibit their work, create a culture of sharing and be part of an artistic environment emphasizing encouragement, collaboration, and the support of one’s peers. This is an opportunity to shift the current culture, where artists work in isolation, toward a more collaborative system where artists work together, empowering one another. Carina also hopes that by giving space and a voice to these artists, their experiences and work can challenge oppressive aspects of society such as sexism, homophobia, and transphobia.
