ABOUT CelebrateWomxn845:

Statistics show that womxn (women/women-identifying) artists are underrepresented in galleries and venues throughout the U.S. and the world. Based out of the Hudson Valley area of New York, CelebrateWomxn845 was created to provide the opportunity and the space for both visual and performing womxn artists across disciplines to share their work, meet other womxn, and engage with and identify themselves within their community.

Our goals are to organize, recognize, and celebrate womxn creatives from the 845 and beyond by hosting gallery shows, public events, and information sessions throughout the Hudson Valley region.

Event Description

Local filmmaker Stephen Blauweiss presents an evening of his short films featuring past and present female artists and artisans from around the Hudson Valley. The films showcase a wide variety of styles, disciplines, and mediums, including metalsmithing, outdoor installations, children’s book illustration, painting, photography, and multimedia constructions. Blauweiss has produced over 75 of these artist profiles; 20 have aired on PBS and many have screened at museums and galleries around the country. Join us for this free evening honoring and celebrating the talented women of our region!

You are invited to see pieces from a group of powerful womxn/womxn identifying artists including Nicole Aulicino, Nicole Kibert Basler, the Guerrilla Girls, Nancy Hwang, Allyson Levy (courtesy Carrie Haddad Gallery), Jamie Sanin, Jenny Snider (courtesy John Davis Gallery), and Patricia Watwood.

We are also thrilled that work created by a group of womxn with The DRAW Kingston for Black History Month In Kingston will remain on exhibit. Artists include Addie Farr, Cassandra Taylor, Patty Tyrol, Tona Wilson, and Lara Giardano.
