“Honoring Women’s Rights” at the National Steinbeck Center, Salinas California from September 7 2012 to January 6, 2013.

 

National Juried Exhibition presented by the Women’s Caucus for Art at the National Steinbeck Center, Salinas California from September 7 2012 to January 6, 2013 with Dr. Joyce Aiken, Dr. Ruth Weisberg and Patricia Rodriguez as jurors. We asked for artwork that examines and explores the social, political and economic issues related to women’s activism. Historically, women have played a central role in the struggle for Civil Rights, yet their voices and experiences are generally ignored. We proposed an exhibition as a means of visually interpreting the struggle for women’s rights. By promoting and striving for protection and actualization of women’s rights, we are paving a path for a stronger and fuller civil and personal life, empowering ourselves and those who follow us. Our jurors chose 94 artists with 108 works to be exhibited at the museum.
