Now You See Us - Women Artists in Britain 1520–1920
Discover the artists who forged a path for generations to come. Spanning 400 years, this exhibition follows women on their journeys to becoming professional artists. Including over 150 works, the show dismantles stereotypes surrounding women artists in history, who were often thought of as amateurs. Determined to succeed and refusing to be boxed in, they daringly painted what were usually thought to be subjects for male artists: history pieces, battle scenes and the nude.

You Are Invited (Taking Up Space, Chicago)
You Are Invited is a group exhibition of Chicago area artists and caregivers working through themes of domesticity, family ties, shelter, play, ritual and wonder. This third annual Taking Up Space exhibition extends the conversation it began in 2022. Materials range from photographs to cut paper, from vintage hankies to pillow forts. Familiar forms of heirloom plates, blanket terrains, and silhouettes of childhood homes dot the gallery space. Joyful colors radiate the space. Soft organic shapes and cloud forms extend comfort and a space for reflection.
