A special year for women - 2020 marks the centennial anniversary of the 19th Amendment, passed by Congress on June 4, 1919 and ratified on August 18, 1920, the amendment guarantees all American women the right to vote. A multitude of organizations, including museums and galleries, are marking the occasion with events, programs, and exhibits, focused on women and their stories.  In our own state of Maryland, Governor Larry Hogan has declared 2020 as the Year of Woman in Maryland:

       “Our state’s history has been shaped by extraordinary women leaders, and our administration remains committed to empowering and 
       advocating for women in Maryland,” said Governor Hogan. “I look forward to the many events taking place statewide to commemorate
       the Year of the Woman. ”   -Governor Larry Hogan

Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center is pleased to join this state - and nationwide celebration - by presenting She: an Expression of Womanhood.  Juried by Ms. Camy Clough, of the National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution, the exhibit includes more than 90 works by 70 artists from Maryland and across the nation.  The exhibit contains compelling stories and images of the joys, sorrows, and complexities of womanhood. 

ABOUT THE EXHIBIT
She: an Expression of Womanhood focuses on the theme of women in art, as creators, innovators, consumers, and subject matter. In an era of multiplying female voices, world-wide political movements, and fluid gender roles and identities, this exhibit invites artists to dive into the vast and often contentious conversation about the meaning of she. The goal is to create a rich exploration of womanhood that celebrates and embraces different voices, experiences, and interpretations.
