Sophie's Gallery presents art exhibit: Inspire/Respond
Inspire/Respond was a challenge to expand artistic horizons and methods, to make works that honor the traditions of outsider art. Artworks will be displayed together in this exciting exhibition, as Sophie's Gallery Artists have paired with members of the Feminist Image Group Exhibit.
Formed in 2009, the Feminist Image Group (FIG) is a coalition of visual artists who meet to discuss art, see exhibitions and support one another's careers. FIG's member artists work across many media, including drawing, painting, photography, sculpture, installation, digital media and performance. As artists, FIG is concerned with how women continue to be portrayed in the art world. As teachers and feminists, they encourage students and colleagues to be alert to sexism in its many forms. FIG promotes an inclusive worldview that allows all voices.
