About YOUNITY:

YOUNITY was founded in New York City in 2007 by artists Alice Mizrachi and Toofly. After spending many years involved in the art world, it became evident that urban contemporary women artists did not have a properly organized forum through which to disseminate ideas and showcase work to their contemporaries and the public at large. The confines of galleries were too rigid and staid and the 'white cube' did not lend much room for personal expression and individual style. So, Alice and Toofly decided to:

1) create a place where females could tell their stories in more universal, down-to-earth voices;

2) build a stable community in which they could teach the next generation of women the process of curating exhibitions and successfully spreading artistic ideas; and,

3) allow members to explore their own flavor while retaining their identity within the context of a collective body. YOUNITY is also committed to the documentation and archiving of itself as a community of unique, autonomous participants through exhibitions, new media and publishing.
