Our Online Exhibition Since 2000: The Manhattan Arts International annual “HerStory” Online exhibitions (since 2000) will continue my mission to achieve the equality and recognition women artists deserve. For centuries, women artists have inspired, enlightened and informed us with their enormous talent, vision and commitment. Many have served as creative trailblazers. Unfortunately, many of their contributions have gone under-recognized. ~ Renee Phillips, Founder and Director of Manhattan Arts International

About Renee Phillips, Curator
As Director of Manhattan Arts International I have been presenting ‘HerStory’ Online Exhibitions — art by women artists — since creating this website in 2000. Prior to that I curated several Women’s Exhibitions in public venues throughout NYC, NY. I also served served on advisory boards and public speaker for several women’s organizations nationwide. Needless to say, it is one of my important missions — to bring equality in the world of art and give women artists the recognition they deserve.”
“HerStory” 2026 is dedicated to the memory of my sister whose unconditional love, courage and talent were among her many admirable qualities. ~ Renee Phillips
Looking forward to seeing more about your exhibits and getting involved.
