Carolyn Kossar brought many exciting exhibitions to HCC’s Ybor City Campus as Gallery Director from 2001-2020. Kossar, also a mixed media and fiber artist, encouraged slowing down and noticing the beauty that surrounds us. Her curatorial practice shared this sensibility with her work as an artist, as she mounted numerous exhibitions that celebrated finding joy in the everyday. As both artist and curator, she challenged viewers to reconsider the things we take for granted and to appreciate the small moments that make up our lives.
This work of art is a part of the HCC Permanent Art Collection. The HCC Art Galleries, through their Campus Loan Outreach Program, seek to share original art by collecting a diversity of works for the education and enjoyment of the HCC Community.
