our gallery mission statement:
“
All art requires courage. Yours might not be a canvas, but the common language is known.”
— Logan Nakyanzi Pollard, founder find create joy, and its art gallery.
previously:
art, curatorial background and more on why this gallery exists.
“As listed below, these skills were typically baked-into a primary role (at the various companies I’ve worked for) but I have gathered them here to illustrate a through-line of art involvement throughout my career. I also created an online gallery space in the early 2000s to express my creativity and did a few shows throughout the years, as I gained confidence and began to be published. Reflecting on all of this, especially, the blocks either real or psychological towards producing work, caused me to establish the mission statement: ‘All art requires courage. Yours might not be a canvas, but the common language is known.’” — Logan
