Project Description

Hello ALL,  My name is Lynda Diamond. I am a painter and painting teacher from NYC and Nova Scotia. I am new to Toronto and have come here to organize fine arts shows featuring predominantly ( but not all ) women fine artists.

As you know the major museums in Canada and the world purchase only 7%  of  woman's art work for their collections . It's time we uncover the bias in a more transparent way. It is actually a big deal that not enough is being done to make sure that our cultural institutions reflect our culture. This said I want the exhibitions I produce to show works by 80 % woman and 20% men. Symbolically reversing what is currently standard. Also I want to show work that has social content. If we are to value art work by woman than we have to be able to SEE their work! And I want to exhibit it!!! 

Since I am at the very beginnings of this project I am not able to currently pay for services .....a trade may be possible.. 
Once this project becomes funded a pay position is possible.

PS I have organized successful exhibitions before in Nova Scotia. See my website and click press
