This program features the Guerrilla Girls and it examines the rise of accomplished western women artists during the 20th century who shaped the concept of modern art. Building on this rich legacy, it will explore how the intergenerational roles of women have changed and influenced contemporary female artists active in today’s Western American-based art scene. This symposium will scrutinize the march for gender parity in the art world and the movement to increase the underrepresentation of women artists in critical reception, commercial appeal, and institutional support, examining what steps are being taken to advance women in the visual arts.
