From WOMAN 19… Art created by women, of women & about women is the latest iteration of the annual women’s show curated by Mary Urbas which she used to host at the Gallery at Lakeland Community College when she was director there. But in 2024 the gallery was closed, and since then Urbas has taken her shows on the road to other facilities. In fact, this year, From WOMAN 19 takes place at four far-flung locations.
One of them is the McDonough Art Museum, where work by 21 local and regional arts in a wide range of mediums has been on display since mid January. If you didn’t have a chance to catch it yet, come on down for the closing reception Saturday February 28 to check out the work and say hello to some of the artists. Artists whose work is on display include Lainie Bachman, Cathie Bleck, Judith Brandon, Libby Chaney, Sarah Curry, Lisa Kenion, Terri Kern, Stanka Kordic, Judi Krew, Jenny Mendes, Sandy Miller, Beth Nash, Annie Peters, Susan Shie (whose work is pictured above), Sandy Shelenberger, Deborah Silver, Judith Salomon, Judy Takacs, Gail Trunick, Gwen Waight and Theresa Yondo.
The reception will also mark the closing of two other exhibits: ceramic sculptor Misty Gamble’s Of Flesh and the Feminine and I Do Not Always Understand But I Feel Desire, featuring mixed media work by Hannah Parrett. The reception is free and open to all.
