A Spotlight on Female Artistry

The National Museum of Women in the Arts's latest exhibit, Women House, opens to the public on March 9 and runs through May 28, 2018. Women House explores six key themes in accordance with the museum's mission: Bodyhouse, Body Configuration, Casting the Space, Desperate Housewife, Dollhouse, and Nomad. 

According to NMWA, "Women House forms a sequel to the famous project Womanhouse, developed in 1972 by Judy Chicago and Miriam Schapiro. The artists and their students at the California Institute of the Arts transformed a dilapidated Hollywood mansion with works that disrupted conventional ideas about the home as a feminine space. It attracted thousands of visitors and national media attention. A landmark exhibition in art history, Womanhouse is the first female-centered art installation to appear in the Western world."
