GALLOP
The Recycle Challenge intergrating textiles art into our programming.
Carolina Gallop immigrated from Honduras to Boston, MA at the tender age of 14. She grew up in Boston and moved to California as a young woman and while there she studied Fashion Design, Drawing and Photography. Carolina moved to New Orleans in 1996 and started creating and showcasing her fashions at various establishments in and around the New Orleans area, starting at what was then the newly opened Fashion Café. She has since gone on to host many fashion show events. When Hurricane Mitch touched down in her beloved Country of Honduras, she started the Fashion Designers and Artist United for Honduras Fashion show fundraisers. Carolina invited many other Fashion Design artists, musicians, Poets, and more to participate in her shows. She raised funds and collected clothing to send to Honduras. Carolina also participated and showed her designs at the first ever New Orleans Fashion Week at the New Orleans Board of Trade in 2014. Carolina is very passionate about creating and also teaches sewing to adults and children so that the art will not be lost. She started the Art of Sewing to teach adults and kids in the Lower 9th Ward of New Orleans and at RicRack NOLA. She's been sewing and creating for over 20 years. Carolina showcased at the Jazz Fest gallery and it was about the immigrant story and has participated in the Create Concept Studio for the Fashioning America Exhibit at the New Orleans Museum of Fine Arts (July, 2023 through November, 2023).
