In early 2019, a team of 11 gals of colour ranging in age from
mid-20s to 70s shaped a new creative imagination collective named WOC•Art Collaborative (pronounced “woke art” facebook.com/WOCArt585). They
supposed to pool their methods, skills, and skills to create
prospects for gals and femmes of colour in Rochester’s resourceful sector. Led
by neighborhood organizer Rachel DeGuzman, some of the
gals had collaborated on resourceful endeavors in the earlier, but others were being new
to 1 one more. All saw the need to have for a room that would be specially geared
toward bolstering a prolonged-underestimated population of creatives.
