Opening: Our International Art Exhibition

“Wisdom Across the Ages: An International Women’s Art Exhibition”

July 7 – December 31 2021

ASWM Online Art Gallery

Association for the Study of Women and Mythology

Artemisia Gentileschi Self Portrait as the Allegory of Painting

We are delighted to announce the opening of our inaugural juried exhibition in ASWM’s new online art gallery. This exhibition of works by 45 artists and filmmakers from around the world was created in concert with our 2021 online symposium, “Wisdom Across the Ages: A Celebration of the Life and Legacy of Archaeomythologist Marija Gimbutas.”

Our organization was founded by women who appreciated the essential role of the arts in developing, promoting, and inspiring scholarship and research.

Patricia Monaghan

Patricia Monaghan was not only the author and editor of many books about goddess scholarship; she was also an internationally recognized poet. Pat’s well-crafted words continue to find their way into performances, ceremonies and women’s life passages. Sid Reger is a visual artist with a happy background in feminist theatre. She has also created and promoted festivals and arts events on local, national, and international stages.

Sid says, “We understood from the beginning that all of the arts were essential sources of inspiration and collaboration for scholarship. Many artists are scholars, and vice versa, and we were always excited to see what happens when they meet in the same room. We were guided by one simple idea: Change the images (or words or dances), and you can change the world.”

Mary B Kelly, 2011 Keynote

We dedicate this exhibition and the gallery itself to our beloved artist-foremothers, Mary B. Kelly and Lydia Ruyle.
