Working Through It: Women and Their Art
March 5 - April 5, 2025
The John Natsoulas Gallery is pleased to announce that, coinciding with Women’s History Month, we will be hosting an exhibition entitled Working Through It: Women and Their Art. This exceptional exhibit will showcase how women have and continue to develop unique artistic visions that derive from the social, political, and cultural experiences that are specific to their lives as women. Despite the challenges and obstacles that many of these women faced and continue to face due to gender discrimination, their work is a testament to the perseverance and talent they all possess. This exhibition and the accompanying publication will contribute to the recognition of many of these outstanding artists. This international exhibition, featuring the work of artists from ten countries, will highlight the important contributions women have made around the world.
