A Juried Exhibition of Art by Women

Sponsored by the Koehnline Museum of Art and the Women’s and Gender Studies Program at Oakton Community College.

Gendered embodiment has always been plastic: we adorn ourselves with piercings and tattoos; bind, confine,

and refine our contours; and learn to move in and out of step with societal expectations. Today, consumer society

places unprecedented pressure on women and men to conform, while the proliferation of subcultures allows for

ever more outrageous inventions and expressions. How do we survive and thrive in these extraordinary times?

are encouraged to attend this special event and discuss their work with students, faculty, staff, and community members.

professional artists who have a record of professional exhibitions and are18 years of age or older.

Catalog: The College will produce an exhibition catalog.

Submission of Work: Each artist may submit one original work for consideration. Work should relate to the theme of

“bodies by design.”
