Manhattan Arts International thanks all women artists who submitted their art in the form of JPEG images for possible inclusion in the annual “HerStory” online art exhibition.

About “HerStory”: Even though for centuries women artists have inspired, enlightened and informed us with their enormous talent, vision and commitment, their contributions have gone under-recognized. Many have served as creative trailblazers in their chosen styles and mediums and they haven’t received the accolades they deserve. We have been presenting “HerStory” exhibitions at www.manhattanarts.com since 2000. They provide a venue for outstanding yet under-recognized women artists. We will continue to present annual “HerStory” exhibitions until there is a fair and equal balance of women artists represented by art museums, galleries, art book publishers, major private and public collections, auction houses, and the media. 

A variety of subjects, styles and mediums of 2D and 3D artwork by women from around the world. Painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, printmaking, digital art, and mixed media. (No installation, video or craft.) 

Every Artist who entered will be considered for inclusion in articles published during the next 12 months on this website and also The Healing Power of ART & ARTISTS website, an initiative of Manhattan Arts International.

Curator: Renée Phillips, Founder and Director of Manhattan Arts International (read more about her below).
