Her Story

Group show, open call

“Her Story”—an invitation to consider, interpret and acknowledge women’s experiences through the lens of Art.  

This is an open call, we invite anybody to create artworks that are at once celebratory and thought-provoking about the history and empowerment of women.  We encourage artworks, performances, and installations that very decidedly address topics of inequality and stereotypes, and focus on Woman’s internal strength and power.  Artworks that reflect these women’s strong bonds to their heritage and to their experiences. 

In all the individual stories within Her Story, with their unique narratives and viewpoints, a broader story of womanhood surfaces, giving us a distinct conversational point of departure for the ongoing discussion about what it is to be a Woman, with all the struggles and joys therein.

To submit artwork for consideration, please follow these guidelines:

*Artists may submit up to FOUR pieces for consideration.
