Now Showing: HerStory
Artist Reception: 5:30 p.m. on Friday, March 28
"Women’s stories are as powerful, inspiring, and terrifying as the goddess herself. And in fact, these are the stories of the goddess. As women, we know her because we are her. Each woman, no matter how powerless she might feel, is a cell within her vast form, an embodiment of her essence, and each woman's story is a chapter in the biography of the sacred feminine." —Jalaja Boeheim, Aphrodite’s Daughters
Women’s history is not just written in books - it’s painted on canvases, captured in photographs, woven into poetry, and etched into the hearts of generations.
This collection reflects the depth and diversity of womanhood — its joys, struggles, triumphs, and transformations. A space where personal narratives meet collective history, where every brushstroke, every word, every captured moment echoes the voices of those who came before us and inspires those who will follow. Through these works, we honor the women who have shaped us, the emotions that define us, and the legacies that empower us.
Featured Artists: Lydia Boddie-Rice, Paola Macas Betchart, Elizabeth Rossi, Dr. Linda Shanti McCabe, Lia Burt, Andres Warren, Paris Morris, Haley Indorato, Onis Visuals, Carlet Cleare, J3ANNIE
