Influential Women Artists

“n the spirit of Elizabeth Catlett’s print There is a Woman in Every Color, this exhibition explores the legacy of Black women in the visual arts. Bringing together works made between the late eighteenth and twenty-first centuries, the exhibition examines their representation in works of art that picture Black women or that were produced by Black women.“
