The Women and Money Project

Exhibition Website

Sep 6 2016 - Dec 10 2016

By investigating the relationship between women and money through a contemporary lens, The Women and Money Project posits questions and initiates visual and verbal dialogue regarding economics, of which money is a by-product, a construct, and a human creation. Money has evolved from an “exchange of value” to a purpose of its own that has, in some instances, created its own scarcity. Women have experienced this scarcity and the exhibition provides an opportunity to bring artistic voices to the discussion. The Women and Money Project expands beyond the limits of the gallery space into the community by connecting artists, community organizations, private entities, and audiences in exploring a local and global problem. The exhibition promotes the use of art for social change, examines women’s place in the precarious state of the world’s economic and financial situation, and scrutinizes, investigates and discusses infrastructures that perpetuate gender and economic inequality. This exhibition also includes artworks selected by Lyndel King, Director of the Weisman Art Museum, through a national call for entries.
