Women’s History Month Artists

This month serves as a time to honor the achievements and contributions that women of all backgrounds have made throughout the history of the United States, both by remembering those who paved the way in the struggle for gender equity in the United States, and by recognizing the history-makers and barrier breakers of today.

Here are our women artists from our Art Changes program that we are honoring this month:
