Before the very first Venice Art Crawl over 10 years ago, Sunny was a known ambassador for Venice arts. Originally from New York City, where she made a name for herself as a music industry, celebrity, and fashion photographer, Sunny has served on the Venice Art Crawl board as Sponsorship Director, Vice President, and now serves as President. She is a loyal friend of the arts, always recruiting the community to participate and be invested in keeping creativity alive in Venice.
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.

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.

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
