About me: ABOUT:
YOUNITY was founded in New York City in 2007 by noted artists Alice Mizrachi, and Toofly. After spending years involved in the art world, they came to the realization that women artists do not have a properly-organized forum through which to disseminate their ideas to contemporaries and showcase their work to the public at large. The confines of galleries were too rigid and staid; the ‘white cube’ did not lend much room for personal expression and individual style. They wanted to create a place wherein females could tell their own stories in more universal, down-to-earth voices. They also wanted to build a stable community in which they could teach the next generation what goes into the process of setting up art shows and trying to successfully spread artistic ideas. The organization’s name derives from its overarching concept of creating a solid group filled with unique, autonomous participants. Each member has her own flavor, and can retain that identity even in the context of a collective body. Thus, the concept behind YOUNITY was born.
MISSION:
The mission of YOUNITY is to create an international collective of female visual artists, designers, photographers and craftswomen. These participants will support each other by joining forces on projects, helping to build networks, providing resources, and creating community awareness about the collective with youth. It serves as a bridge that results in artistic mentoring, communal support, and the production of collaborative art shows that promote women in the arts.
Our 1st Annual Younity Exhibition, "CROSSOVER" NOV 2007, New York N.Y.
"THE CROSSOVER" A Fusion of Female Stylez, Ideaz and Skillz
This name reflects the founders’ vision of bringing together a diverse population of women who can reflect upon others’ life experiences as well as share their own. The event will feature work by painters, street artists, graffiti artists, photographers, graphic designers, fashion designers, and craftswomen of all backgrounds. This year, an exhibition will be held at The Showroom NYC, located in downtown Manhattan.
