The Women to Watch exhibition series is a unique collaboration between the National Museum of Women Artists (NMWA) and its national and international committees. Each exhibition, held every few years, focuses on a specific medium or theme chosen by NMWA’s curators and features underrepresented, self-identifying women artists from each committee’s respective region.
This seventh installment of Women to Watch features five artists currently living and working within a 150-mile radius of Kansas City who envision a different world through their creative practice.
This exhibition features works by:
Bianca Fields (American, born 1995),
Melanie Johnson (American, born 1978),
Bev Gegen (American, born 1937),
Sun Young Park (South Korean, born 1990), and
Mona Cliff/HanukGahNé (Spotted Cloud) (Aaniiih, born 1977)
These artists will have the opportunity to be selected by curators from the National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA), Washington, DC, for the national Women to Watch exhibition in 2024.
This exhibition is juried and curated by Erin Dziedzic, director of curatorial affairs at Kemper Museum and presented in cooperation with the Greater Kansas City Area Committee of the National Museum of Women in the Arts.
