This Chicago-based organization, stands as an empowering and growing force within the art world. Offering women of all backgrounds and artistic talents, a chance to display and promote themselves and their hard work. They are an inspiring approach to giving today's women a chance to flourish and explore their greatest gifts.
Their Vision Statement is as follows, as stated on their web site:
"Woman Made Gallery supports all women in the arts by providing opportunities, awareness and advocacy. Unlike the mainstream art world, we are building an alternative community where the artistic values and criteria are determined by women, for women. Woman Made Gallery is dedicated to promoting the equal placement of women's art in the world. Through programming which examines the female experience, the organization educates and serves as a forum for dialogue between artists and the community."
WomanMade.org is their online address, where you can check out their calender of events, learn how to get involved, and learn more about what WomanMade means. They also offer intensive workshops, and group exhibitions that you can participate in and visit. They have extensive galleries ranging from artesian to contemporary art.
Thank you WomanMade! You are yet another shining light in this world, keep it up!
