Caroline Yates

is an art historian, writer and aspiring curator based in Nashville, Tennessee. Her area of study extends to feminist art history and art of the 19th and 20th centuries. She is deeply fascinated by religious symbolism, occult imagery, the grotesque, and all things darkly unconventional. Her passion for art bleeds into every aspect of her life as she constantly searches for knowledge and meaning in her work. As a young voice in the art world, Yates hopes to bring a fresh perspective to an old practice, exposing blind spots and disregarded aspects of the art history canon.

Yates received her Bachelors from Middle Tennessee State University in art history and museum studies in 2025, where she organized and curated multiple student exhibitions and collaborative projects. Her research on the women artists of Surrealism was presented at the Mid Atlantic Popular American Culture Conference in 2025. She is currently working as the Susan H. Edwards Curatorial Fellow at the Frist Art Museum and as the gallery assistant at Red Arrow Gallery in Nashville.
