Co-Founders
LAUREN JACKSON HARRIS
An arts professional and independent curator who was exposed to art at an early age and it undoubtedly became her passion. With a BFA in Graphic Design and Art History from Howard University and a MA in Creative Business Leadership from SCAD, I value both education and experience in the arts. I enjoyed networking and cultivating relationships with those within the arts and cultural industry. I have used my innovative strategies and progressive ideas to help ignite the arts community and create new avenues for artists and arts workers. Through managing partnerships and engaging audiences, I hope to add value to the arts scene of my hometown of Atlanta, engage and grow with other BWVA’s, and transform the arts world one step at a time.
DARICIA MIA DEMARR
A cross-disciplinary person with curious interests in most everything. My career path has been guided by the understanding that art intersects all disciplines providing me infinite possibilities for professional and creative engagement. I am a curator and visual art executive. My independent curatorial and creative projects are conducted under my company Pi Arts Projects. I was a member of the Hartsfield-Jackson Art Program team in Atlanta, Georgia and have held management positions at Peg Alston Fine Arts NYC and New York University, Kimmel Galleries. I am motivated by creative and critical engagement and passionate about social, cultural and personal development. In concert I seek to make the world a more thoughtful place via the arts.
