From Africa and Asia to a large survey exhibition of more than sixty top women artists of the greater Washington region, six eclectic and important new exhibitions will open on September 6 in the American University Museum at the Katzen Arts Center, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. Located on American University’s main campus in Washington, D.C., AU Museum is the region’s largest university facility for exhibiting art. This year’s fall exhibitions will run until December 7.
American University Museum is the anchor venue for this groundbreaking survey exhibition, Women Artists of the DMV, which uncovers the breadth, diversity, and creative “superpowers” of female artists working today in Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia.
Curator Lenny Campo
With more than 60 works of art on display at AU Museum, and more than 400 artists included in all 16 locations, this unprecedented initiative is “the largest curated survey of contemporary living women artists in the nation and the first survey of female visual artists working across the DMV,” according to curator Lenny Campello. The show brings together established and emerging visual artists across all genres of the fine arts.
