Extraordinary Art by 38 Women
March 20 – May 31, 2024
A Diverse Range of Subjects, Styles and Mediums
Manhattan Arts International has been presenting “HerStory” online exhibitions since 2000
Shown on this page is some of the art from this important exhibition.
The names of all artists in “HerStory” can be found below.
Our Purpose for “HerStory” Exhibitions: For centuries women artists have inspired and enlightened us with their enormous talent, vision and commitment. Many have served as creative trailblazers in their chosen styles and mediums. Their contributions have gone under-recognized and they haven’t received the accolades they deserve.
Manhattan Arts International 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. ~ Renee Phillips, Director and Curator
“HerStory” 2024 ~ An “Invitational Exhibition”: Previous “HerStory” exhibitions were open calls. For this exhibition in 2024 we focused on featuring Artist Members from the Manhattan Arts International Galleries and The Healing Power of ART & ARTISTS (HPAA) Gallery. We also included Artists from our Art Review Series on the HPAA website.
