“Women artists from the Columbia Valley,” a month-long exhibit, will open Nov. 19 at the Art Center in the WSU Tri-Cities Consolidated Information Center, 2710 Crimson Way, Richland. A free, public reception will be at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 25.
Featuring 64 contemporary female artists, the exhibit is a broad survey of the robust talent and creativity of women working in a variety of media across the Columbia Valley area and state of Washington, said Peter Christenson, assistant professor of fine arts.
“Historically ‘women in art’ have been unfairly marginalized,” he said. “This is an opportunity to proudly support and celebrate some of the underrepresented artists in our region.”
