Carolyn became part of the Valley art scene in 2005 as a board member of the non-profit Valley Institute of Visual Art (VIVA Gallery) and was president of VIVA from 2009-2012. In 2011, she started the San Fernando Valley Arts Alliance (SFVAA) under the directorship of the San Fernando Valley Arts Council, when need of a more unified and powerful presence for the Valley’s arts organizations became apparent. One of her main goals was to find a location for the San Fernando Valley Arts & Cultural Center. In 2014, she signed the lease on a 4,595 square foot property in Tarzana, CA that was a successful creative community hub, as well as a gallery, workshop, meeting and live performance space. Since the pandemic and closure of the Center in July 2020, the SFVACC has transitioned to an all-virtual entity, with Carolyn still at the helm. As a leading proponent for the arts in the San Fernando Valley, Carolyn plans to work on creative community projects and introduce more sophisticated public art to the Valley.
