Women Artists: Four Centuries of Creativity
This exhibition spans four centuries of work by extraordinary women who struggled against gender bias to take their places in history. For centuries, women were denied formal training and faced difficulty showing and selling their art. Their work was often dismissed as inferior and classified as “craft” rather than “fine art.” Even women who possessed undeniable talents were said to have overcome the limitations of their gender in order to succeed in a man’s field. Real progress came in the 1960s, when feminist and equal rights movements opened new paths for women to study, teach, and create art.

To say that right now is the ideal time to make art that speaks directly to the people about social justice is an understatement. Because the very nature of art is to undertake or assume the role of a healer by shading light on the human condition.
