About this event:
Joanna Gardner-Huggett, associate professor of history of art and architecture at DePaul University presents “Women’s Collective Art Practice in Chicago: 1937-2007.”
Historians frequently assert that women artists fared better in Chicago than New York or Los Angeles. However, what they neglect is the fact that despite this reality many women participated in collaborative groups, such as women artists’ art associations and cooperatives in order to create greater visibility for themselves. This presentation examines this history, as well as the reasons why they chose to forge these alliances in a city well known for its warm reception of female artists.
