To honor the originality, beauty, imagination, and multiple dimensions of women’s lives, we take a look at the many facets of expression and accomplishments written out of history.
This year’s theme “Women's Art: Women's Vision” gives us an opportunity to rediscover and celebrate women’s arts in a variety of forms and mediums that will help expand our perceptions of women’s contributions to our society and history. The 2008 theme celebrates and recognizes the vision of women artists representing the diverse forms of visual arts, including painting, sculpture, weaving, pottery, embroidery, as well as forms from modern media art.
