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.
