Anyone who’s ever been to 78th Street Studios Third Fridays knows that there are a lot of women making and showing art in the building’s warren of studios and galleries. Now, in honor of Women’s History Month, 78th Street Studios is devoting a weekend to these “Women in the Arts.”
A dozen women artists will be opening their spaces for browsing and conversation, including Susie Frazier at Designing for Wellness, Hillary Gent at HEDGE Gallery, Valerie Mayen of Yellowcake Clothing Co., Natalie Rich, Julie Verdon and Maya Matthews at RampArts Gallery, Margaret Daole of Googie Style, Megan Frankenfield, Eileen Dorsey, Laurel Herbold, Dawn Tekler and Keri Gortz.
In addition, some of the artists will be hosting talks with opportunities to shop their spaces. In Friday March 15, join painter Eileen Dorsey in her studio from 12-12:30pm; painter/gallerist Hilly Gent in her gallery from 4-4:30 and clothing designer Valerie Mayen from 6-6:30pm.
On Saturday March 13, Susie Frazier will be hosting a talk from 12-12:30pm; the trio of women at RampArt will be sharing from 2-2:30pm and Dawn Tekler (pictured) will be inviting people into her studio to her about her encaustic work from 4-4:30pm.
Masks are required and there are sanitizer stations throughout the building. The event is free and open to all. Registration is suggested for crowd control purposes. Go here.
