The Latela Curatorial x Artsy: Women in the Arts Online Exhibition is a 6-week virtual exhibition featuring 80+ women artists working across multiple media from DC, MD & VA. Artworks are exhibited by themes or "viewing rooms" and accompanied by six full weeks of online programming, including artist talks, studio visits and more! Purchasing art made by women artists supports the gap in pay, auction market, press and exhibition representation of women in the arts.
Themes:
1. Materiality - In the Flesh; Women who Work with their Hands & Across Various Materials
2. Artist as Mother - Artist Mothers; The Creative Cycle & Ancestral Roles in Making Art
3. The Idea - Abstract to Surrealism Art
4. The Vision - Seeing & Being Seen
5. Action & Existence; Activism Art & the Value of Collections/Collecting
6. The Surrender - Trust & Process
DC, MD & VA are home to some of the most important museums in the world, however the emerging and mid-career art scenes across this area do not receive the same press, art fair representation or sales as competitive art meccas such as NYC, Miami or LA. Financially supporting this art scene communicates an investment to living artists and current culture; a commitment that is just as important as - if not more important than - appreciating museums and institutions. Purchasing artwork by women artists - especially those working so close in and around the Nation's Capital during this political time - is an investment in the future of #womeninthearts.
