Festival Success!
Many thanks to those of you who attended the gallery opening and festival this week. All in all it was pretty successful. We were Curator's Choice, sold some work, schmoozed, and have a potential show out of it. So, thanks again.
Around the Coyote Fall Festival October 16-18
This is a busy month! But then again, October is Chicago Artists Month. Next weekend I will be super duper busy. I have 2 art opening events, plus I'm shooting an event for someone else, and I have tickets to see MeShell Ndegeocello at the Oldtown School of Folk Music! Whew! Trying to catch my breath in preparation...So the first event I want to announce is:
Thoughts on jurying an exhibition of works by women students...
As an undergrad and graduate student of art, I noticed the way art programs are dominated (at least in numbers) by women. As an instructor I see the same thing. My student populations are generally at least 75% women. And yet, high-paying full-time positions in academia, in galleries, and in museums - all of these prestigious positions seem to be heavily dominated by men. STILL. Look at works being exhibited in any gallery or museum space - the artists are STILL predominantly male. The numbers just don't add up. This may all sound like the guerilla girls circa 1989. But in 2009, representation of women artists is a huge problem. STILL.
Not enough data.
