Honoring Women
March is International Women’s Month. So for the first exhibit of 2026, we would like you to create art that honors and celebrates women. They could be famous, historical figures, pioneering women, local heroes, or unnamed women known only to you. This is an opportunity to recognize their lives, achievements, resilience, personal pain, acts of courage and determination, experiences, culture or complex identities. We hope this exhibit will show our gratitude to women for their impact on the world, or even on our own personal lives.
