ROAR!
Voices can be hushed, stifled, extinguished, ignored, persecuted, condemned, or falsified. Voices can also be liberating, therapeutic, powerful, paradigm shifting, life-saving, quieting.
This show is about the artistic voice, having a voice, finding a voice, specifically the voice of a group of female / femme artists the gallery has worked with or has been deeply affected by over the past 35 years.
May this show be a tiny addition to the great push forward to a more equal representation of artistic voices, in this gallery, and worldwide.*
*According to a recent Art Market report, women artists sell for less than men in every continent on earth but none worse than in North America where on average men sell their art for almost 50% more than women.
