F*ck U! In the Most Loving Way Exhibition Opening Reception

Reception Dec. 17, 7-9pm, Exhibition Dec. 17, 2016 through Jan. 21, 2017

52 artists speak out against misogyny, sexism, and discrimination in the provocatively titled exhibition, "F*ck U! In the Most Loving Way." Scheduled on the heels of a contentious Presidential election, the exhibition examines in raw detail how the artists react to patriarchy and shines a spotlight on women's identities and embodied experiences. With a nod to the 1972 landmark Womanhouse installation, this show also includes the works of four groundbreaking Womanhouse artists.
