Hello, I'm Alexandra Jane, founder of Leola Curatorial.

I am thrilled to introduce you to Leola Curatorial, a curatorial platform committed to amplifying underrepresented voices, with a core objective of supporting, showcasing, and selling the work of marginalized artists in the Southeast region. At Leola Curatorial, we believe in bringing the margins to the center, that art is most impactful when left uncensored, and in fostering artistic experiences that provoke thought and enrich cultural discourse across communities.

As a Black queer woman curator working throughout the south, I have seen firsthand the challenges faced by underrepresented artists in gaining visibility and support within traditional art spaces. This is why I created Leola Curatorial, to drive meaningful change and foster genuine inclusivity in the arts. Our mission is to transform the art landscape into one where every artist has the opportunity to thrive and be celebrated for their unique contributions.

Leola Curatorial champions inclusive, impactful programming to uplift BIPOC, women, nonbinary, queer, and disabled artists. Our initiatives include exhibition planning, impact initiatives like artist led workshops, and ethical community engagement training for arts institutions and organizations. By activating both traditional and non-traditional art spaces, we bring these vital stories to the forefront, fostering accessible and inclusive arts experiences for all.
