Opening Reception May 4: Women Defining Themselves
SOHO 20, the second all-women cooperative art gallery in New York City, was founded in 1973 by Joan Glueckman and Mary Ann Gillies as an expressly feminist organization. From the outset, SOHO 20 was centered on "women defining themselves" and artists were chosen for their "professional excellence without restriction on style, medium, or theme."
This exhibition commemorates the 45th anniversary of SOHO 20 and features a selection of works by the founding artist-members.
The Center for Art & Social Engagement is Now Open
The Center for Art and Social Engagement will serve as a venue for investigating social issues through arts-based methods. Anchored by a permanent display of The Sister Chapel, a historic collaborative feminist installation, CASE draws inspiration from the cooperative spirit of the women’s art movement.
Now on View: Susan Sterner at The Center for Art & Social Engagement
Estoy Por Aquí / I Am Here is an ongoing project by Susan Sterner exploring the challenges and contexts of women working in the informal economy of central El Salvador and the political and social upheaval that has fed a multigenerational cycle of emigration and fractured families.
The objective of this project is to explore and deepen the narrative around working-class women of El Salvador, their roles in sustaining communities, and their connections to emigration to the United States.
This exhibition is presented by The Center for Art & Social Engagement a new initiative of Rowan University Art Gallery located in Westby Hall.
