A Celebration
of Regional Women Artists
Call for Entries
The UMUC Arts program invites entries for a juried exhibition of works on paper by regional women artists. Mind, Body and Spirit will celebrate the diverse perspectives of regional women artists as they share their unique interpretations of self-identity.
The exhibition will be co-curated by Harriet McNamee, art historian and former curator of education for the National Museum of Women in the Arts and by Bobby Donovan, painter and printmaker and assistant director of the UMUC Arts program. A small catalog will accompany the exhibition, which will coincide with a symposium on African American and African Diasporan Women in the Visual Arts on March 6, 2010, sponsored by University of Maryland’s David C. Driskell Center and the UMUC Arts program.
The deadline for artists' submissions is October 15, 2009. The exhibition will begin on January 18, 2010.
