What Ever been told: “Oh, you look great for a woman your age.” Or “You can’t possibly do that at your age.” Or: “You ’re too old for this sort of thing.” Woman Made Gallery invites women and non-binary artists age 65 and older to submit artwork for "In Full View," a group exhibition exploring themes of visibility and invisibility in relation to identity, aging, memory, and the legacy of a fully lived life.
Open to all mediums, this exhibition seeks work that reflects presence, resilience, personal history, and the evolving power of creative expression over time. Artists are encouraged to consider what it means to be seen, overlooked, remembered, or revealed, and how these experiences shape both life and art. In Full View celebrates the depth, insight, and ongoing cultural contribution of women and non-binary artists 65+, honoring voices and perspectives that deserve recognition, space, and visibility.

What WMG invites women and non-binary artists to submit works that feature encaustic materials or techniques, either wholly or in part. Encaustic, derived from the Greek enkaustikos, meaning “to burn in” is a versatile medium traditionally made up of beeswax, damar resin, and pigment. Artists must incorporate hot wax methods, which involve heating and fusing layers with tools such as torches or heat.

What Anchored in America 250—the nationwide commemoration of the United States’ 250th anniversary—this exhibition reflects on the long arc of feminist history within a broader national moment of remembrance, reckoning, and re‑imagining. As one of the nation’s longest continually operating feminist art spaces, WMG enters this milestone with a history shaped by decades of cultural resistance, artist‑led advocacy, community care, and the ongoing fight to claim space for those long pushed to the margins.
Feminism 250 marks a critical opportunity to look back at 250 years of feminist thought and action in the United States—charting the shifts, ruptures, and breakthroughs that carried us from early demands for basic rights to contemporary movements that challenge entrenched power structures while insisting on gender justice. It also asks how the struggles of the past can guide the feminist futures we are still building. Themes and Areas of Inquiry Woman Made Gallery welcomes artworks in all media that engage with broad feminist topics, including but not limited to: ● Histories of erasure and the ongoing struggle for visibility and recognition ● Reclamation of authorship, narrative power, and cultural agency ● Feminist activism across time, including movements, collectives, and community organizing ● Intersectional experiences of gender, race, class, sexuality, disability, and migration ● Art as a site of resistance, critique, or social transformation ● Reimagining identity, belonging, and community through feminist perspectives ● Honoring overlooked figures and amplifying marginalized histories ● Personal narratives that illuminate broader struggles for justice, equity, and representation ● Creative responses to the current political moment, including the challenges, threats, and opportunities shaping feminist work today Jurors WMG Program Committee Where Woman Made Gallery, 1332 S Halsted St, Chicago, IL 60607 When Aug 29 - Sept 26 Deadline Jun 27 Apply app.entrythingy.com/womanmade/feminism-250-woman-made-america/ |
