Curator’s Tour with Natalie Nelson
Saturday, May 18 | 2 – 3:30 PM
Free, suggested $10 donation
Curator Natalie Nelson will lead a gallery walk-through of the Women’s Work exhibit, exploring how participating artists critique and challenge gender roles and current definitions of femininity in their work. Whether they are celebrating the contributions of specific women who have battled injustice and discrimination in their fight for social justice, or honoring women as a whole, these artists have much to say on the subject of being a woman. This is a free event, no registration required. Women’s Work is on display at the Pence Gallery from April 12 – May 31, 2024.
Exhibiting Artists: Chaitra Bangalore, Sue Bradford, Shenny Cruces, Linda S. Fitz Gibbon, Ianna Nova Frisby, Suzanne M. Long, Emma Luna, Shonna McDaniels, Lisa Reinertson, Nancy Selvin, Julianne Wallace Sterling, Shalene Valenzuela, Amy Vidra
