Celebrate Women’s History Month with us during March as we highlight the creative contributions of women artists.
Discover Great Works by Women Artists
Exhibition: A Dangerous Women: Surrealism and Subversion in the Art of Honoré Sharrer. Sharrer’s gender, commitment to leftist ideals, and use of figurative surrealism put her at odds with the dominant political and artistic climate of the 1950s. Read more about this original CMA exhibition in the recent Columbus Dispatch review.
In the Galleries
Look for special Collective Voices Guide by Cell in the galleries featuring women artists, and those inspired by them. Pick up a copy of the guide at the front desk and look for special labels in the galleries.
