New Woman: Opening Reception

Presented by Clifton Cultural Arts Center at The Annex Gallery (@ Pendleton Arts Center), Cincinnati OH

Feb 05 2022

In anticipation of a new gallery named for Elizabeth Nourse, CCAC introduces a new juried exhibition and accompanying residency designed to showcase the artwork of women artists.

Join us for the opening reception of “New Woman”, a new juried art exhibition featuring work by selected local female artists, on Saturday, February 5, from 3 – 5 p.m.

In anticipation of the Elizabeth Nourse Gallery (Exact Name TBD) to be constructed in the Clifton Cultural Arts Center’s brand new, 3-story, 18,000 sq. ft. arts and cultural center, CCAC presents the inaugural edition of “New Woman”, a juried group exhibition and accompanying residency for one selected artist. This exhibit is designed to follow in the tradition of Elizabeth Nourse (one of the earliest women artists to achieve widespread recognition and a living as a professional painter) and showcase the artwork of women artists of Cincinnati and beyond. “New Woman” was a title bestowed on Nourse and her contemporaries, describing the different and changing role within the patriarchal society that Nourse encountered. More than a century later, CCAC believes it is still of critical importance to uplift the voices of emerging women artists – including those whose personal identity intersects with other groups who have been historically marginalized such as members of the LGBTQIA and BIPOC communities – to provide them a platform and accessible professional development.
