2024 WOMEN RISING asked Bay Area female-identifying and non-binary artists to exhibit work that reflects on women’s rights around the world: in many places their erosion and decline as a result of governmental restrictions, war, climate change, immigration, racism and domestic violence. As with all dark things, there are also opposite forces at work resulting in positive change and illumination of movements underway both domestically and internationally, so we encouraged artists to shed light on those forces and needs. 

Opening Reception at the 599 Valencia location of The Drawing Room is Sat., February 24 from 4 - 9PM
