Women in Art

Published by

3.9.2020 Afternoon all! As you know, Shadowboxerinc Factory is celebrating Women’s History Month and we are celebrating women in all things creative. Here I found some interesting women in art.       I’ve been trying to look for more women in art and this video caught my eye. Something to spark interest.  I wish I could find more, but it still frustrates me that there aren’t more women artists out there, but I’m optimistic that will change. Enjoy your Monday be blessed.   Featured image: Pinterest

12.16.19 We’re starting off the Best of 2019 with the best art shows. There was plenty to see this year and Vulture has its list of best art shows of 2019.  Credit source: Vulture The 10 Best Art Shows of 2019   From an art-world protest to a radically original self-portraitist. By Jerry Saltz   This year saw an art-world protest drown out the Whitney Biennial and the arrival of one of the most interesting new artists we’ve seen in recent years. 1. Protests by Decolonize This Place Photo: Andrew Lichtenstein/Corbis via Getty Images In the spring, this activist group essentially crowded out the Whitney Biennial with a series of protests focused on the museum’s board member Warren Kanders, a military-supplies mogul who eventually stepped down.
