Opening Reception: Saturday January 7th from 1-3pm
Economics, responsibility, family, independence, creative drive, and social norms add to the larger conversation of women's representation in the male-dominated art world. This tug between being a mother and an artist is rarely discussed in art and society.
State(s) of Being features the work of painters Joice M. Hall and Janine Hall, printmakers Rhonda Neufeld and Mary Smith McCulloch, and mixed media artist Lindsay Lorraine.
These five artists have a professional art practice while still fulfilling motherhood's challenges, responsibilities, and joys (and sometimes not so much joy). This exhibition makes time and space to support and reinforce the role of women artists and asks why to this day, women are still underrepresented in the art world.
