THE WILD SIDE
California Women Celebrate the Untamed
June 18 - August 13, 2022
Arc Gallery
1246 Folsom Street
San Francisco, CA 94103
You were once wild here. Don’t let them tame you. ~Isadora Duncan
We all have a wild side, whether we stride boldly there or keep it under the radar. Women, traditionally, have been taught to keep their “wildness” under wraps – raucous, adventurous, risk-taking, bold & brave, sometimes licentious, or living outside traditional moral codes. For THE WILD SIDE, California women artists evoke drama, awe and strong emotions with works that excite visually… and celebrate the untamed!
Arc Gallery & Studios hosts THE WILD SIDE: California Women Celebrate the Untamed, a NCWCA sponsored exhibition. THE WILD SIDE, a juried exhibition featuring California Women artists, includes an invitational portion featuring six artists–each anchoring an interpretation of the theme.
