Artists, both male and female, have found the feminine form to be an inspiration. In the early years women were considered to be more subjective in art rather than participatory. As time moves on we start to see woman carving the way from muse to creator. From the late medieval times women as patrons of fine art have controlled the aesthetic environment in which they lived. Through their discerning taste women have influenced style and demand.
In many cultures throughout time women have struggled to be allowed the same rights and liberties as the male counterpart. Our museum is dedicated to the underrepresented and often overlooked contribution of women in the art world. Women are often associated with certain media, such as textiles and earthenware but there is much more that has been contributed in art history and contemporary art. From the utilitarian beauty of Native cultures to the suppressed talents of Western and European women and continuing on to Contemporary times, women have been essential in broadening our artistic scope.
Often under-appreciated, we aim to emphasize and illustrate the impact that women have had through out time and in many places.
