Exhibition Description: It’s been 100 years since women were given the right to vote in the United States. In this exhibition, WMG is soliciting work by female identified artists who represent the experience of being a woman and the nuanced (and overt) ways that being female supports or subverts your daily life. Artwork should reflect your narrative experience – your story of being female. We’re searching for a variety of voices to share triumphs and setbacks that highlight gains made or what is missing in our society in terms of equality between the sexes. What is your story and how is it woven into a struggle for equality over 100 years old that has only definitively delivered the right

Truth as a Contested Concept Exhibition Dates: November 1 – 23, 2019 Final Entry Due Date: August 30, 2019 Juror: Indira Freitas Johnson

Exhibition Description: “Truth as a Contested Concept” is open to all artists whose work addresses the theme.

We used to think of truth as being absolute. That our choices were binary. But today truth is a contested concept. One of the many questions that come up is whether truth is subject to human interpretation. Does truth change according to circumstances so that what is true for a particular time is not true at a different time? Does this mean that truth for one person may not necessarily be the same for everyone? If this is the case, can anyone really know “the truth”? The juror is interested in creating a dialog around what we consider truth to be. Do

Language of the Voiceless Art Inspired by, and in Memoriam to Artist Nancy Hild Exhibition Dates: September 28 – October 20, 2018 Final Entry Due Date: July 21 , 2018 Juror: Jeramy Turner

Nancy’s world was one of secrets: secret symbolism, hidden drawers, compartments within compartments, an anger and intense strength that was shielded behind floral arrangements, chicken feathers, pug dogs, and a gently scathing humor….but upon closer scrutiny these pleasantries were often plastic. Blow up toys, easily punctured, and vulnerable in their inertness.

Nancy exposed her anger at a world that trampled upon women and animals with equal nonchalance, and she did so by creating a silent language of detail and quietude, submerging her figures in the silence of black velvet encasement.

In homage to this otherworldly artist, Woman Made Gallery is asking for art that emotes that which cannot be put
