COVID-19 PAGES: The Influence & Inspiration of Women

Phase I of the project showcases contributions by professional women artists. Join us as we celebrate these women, who are often marginalized regarding their access to exhibition space and underpaid for their work relative to their male counterparts. COVID-19 PAGES provides a singular opportunity for them to expose their work as part of the reckoning of this unprecedented historic event.
