Read more#5WomenArtists at Studio Gallery
As Women’s History Month comes to an end, we are celebrating women in the arts through the National Museum of Women in the Arts’ well-known call for action: #5womenartists! The NMWA asks the simple but daring question of if you can name five women artists. This task sounds simple enough, but many people (even art lovers) cannot always answer. We are challenging the male-centric history of art by proudly naming five of Studio Gallery’s #5womenartists, who are in turn sharing their own five favorites with us. We invite you to learn more about women artists and about the NMWA’s challenge as we celebrate Women’s History Month this March 2023 and far beyond.

Read moreMy Journey Back to Art: Inspiration from Artists at the Studio Gallery
My name is Sehrish Hussain and I am a student, a wife, a daughter, a cook, and an artist. I don’t usually forget parts of who I am. But at times I don’t feel like an artist, so I choose not to remember that part of myself because it’s easier than admitting I am not the artist I want to be. Working at the Studio Gallery, though, I have been reminded of how much I love art, being around artists, and creating. From inventory to sales, being surrounded by art gave me so much joy.

This year’s Black History Month celebrates Black Health and Wellness, and the struggles the black community continues to face even today. If they cannot even expect to have the same level of physical or mental care, it will make the fight that much more of a challenge - still, even in the dark, there are moments of color that lead to celebration.

It is important to celebrate the achievements of black people while shining a light on all the atrocities and adversities that we have faced. We cannot and will not allow our history to minimized.”
