For over 13 years now, Hollie is deeply committed to and has served the community of Venice in a variety of ways, such as a Board Member of the VNC and producing TEDxVB in 2015. After completing her two terms in the VNC, she was excited to finally have more time to devote to the two things she loves most about Venice: art & community. She now volunteers for one of the organizations that does the best job of bringing together those two worlds for over 10 years now - the Venice Art Crawl. One really gets to know the “patina” and “je ne sais quoi” of Venice - that brings loads of art lovers and visitors every year - through the Venice Art Crawl streaming and live events. Hollie is proud to be part of such an amazing all-volunteer team that organizes those events.

One of the reasons Karen moved to Venice in 1990, and stayed, is the free-spirited artistic vibe this urban beach town exudes. This NY transplant who is an amateur artist, has been known to sell her work when approached. Karen is an avid art connoisseur and wants to help keep art alive in Venice. She also comes from a family of artists and understands the value of supporting them. Come out to our events and see why Venice and art is such an awesome pairing.

For me, the Venice Art Crawl is the perfect intersection of two passions, creativity and community. I love the magic that happens when we work to create those moments. It’s all about connection and something that moves or inspires you.

As an event planner, Venice is a continuous source of inspiration for my concepts and ideas when designing. The Venice Art Crawl to me is the cumulation of the art and community of Venice by celebrating it’s eccentricities, strangeness, and beauty.

Sandra Zebi

Sandra Zebi is an artist from Sao Paulo, Brazil that has been based in the Venice area for the past thirty years. Her work is primarily ceramics and mixed media paintings. She has her own style with distinct and vibrant colors made up of cheerful and graceful images, used to convey positive messages.

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth.

A vibrant community culture that flows with creativity is our secret
