HerArtistry Art Exhibition

October 2024, Dallas TX
Curator: Seyoun Taylor
Artists: Erica Horton, Latrice Staley, Chelsea Kennedy, Shaleia Thompson, and myself
Curator Philosophy
Successfully curated and executed the HER-Artistry Art Exhibition, celebrating Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Black women's artistry. Partnered with FGiii Fine Art Productions, the Celebrating Life Foundation, and Creative Visions to secure funding and sponsorship. The event raised enough money for the Celebrating Life Foundation to provide food for those in need during the holidays, demonstrating the power of art to drive community impact. My mission to inspire healing and awareness through storytelling gave me the opportunity to amplify the voices of incredible Black women artists, who not only shared their artistry but also their life stories, repurposing strength and finding power in their vulnerability
The Blank Collective Art Show

Curator Philosophy
I believe in the power of art to bring people together and spark conversation. My mission is to create spaces that encourage artistic exploration and expression, where diverse voices and creative visions can be shared. The Blank Collective Art Exhibition is a reflection of this philosophy, offering a platform for local artists to showcase their work in a welcoming and inclusive environment. Through a blend of paintings, sculptures, and photography, this exhibition celebrates the beauty of artistic vulnerability and the richness of expression across various mediums. By providing an atmosphere where creativity is supported with complimentary food, drinks, and music, I aim to cultivate an experience that highlights both the artists and the community, fostering connection, dialogue, and appreciation for the transformative power of art.
Art Show & Mixer
​
Art show & Mixer February 2023, Dallas TX
Lead Curator and Artist: Seyoun Taylor
Co-curator: The Black Enigma, Samaria Brown
Artists: Alexander, Chelsea Page-Kennedy, Ty Larsen, Bri Moore, Brittney Sallier
Curator Philosophy
I strive to create immersive experiences where art serves as the centerpiece for meaningful connection and conversation. The 'Art Show and Mixer' was designed to cultivate an atmosphere that brings people together through shared exploration and dialogue, using art as a bridge between perspectives. I believe art has the power to act as a mirror, reflecting our personal wonders, questions, and aspirations, and offering a space to explore the depths of these reflections. This event provided an opportunity for guests to engage deeply with the artworks they came to see, sparking conversations that went beyond surface observations. It was equally inspiring to connect with like-minded artists, fostering a sense of community and collaboration. Through this event, my goal was to highlight the unifying power of art and its ability to transform interactions into shared experiences.
The Death, The Rebirth & The Inbetween
February 2023
Curator and Artist: Seyoun Taylor
Location: Chicago, illinois
Curator Philosophy
I am deeply committed to exploring the transformative power of art as a tool for self-reflection and connection. In my exhibition, The Death, Rebirth, and the In-Between, I delved into the profound journey of healing, highlighting how death serves as a pathway to rebirth, rebirth as a pathway to life, and the in-between as the grounding presence of the now. This exhibition invited viewers to appreciate their journey—letting go of the past and embracing the present without being consumed by the uncertainty of the future.
​
Through this self-reflective exploration, I sought to show how art transcends its aesthetic value, offering transformative insights that motivate individuals to connect with their inner selves. The feedback from participants, who resonated with the creativity and storytelling, affirmed the exhibition's purpose: to illustrate how art can inspire personal growth and a deeper appreciation for life’s transitions and the beauty of being grounded in the moment.
