In these unprecedented times of political shifting and a worldwide pandemic, women continue to lead the way by shedding light on important issues, building bridges, questioning boundaries, and envisioning a better world. 
The thirty one artists featured in this exhibition represent the richness and diversity of our community, convey the wide-ranging interests, experiences and artistic voices of women of northern Manhattan, and create a platform for dialogue between local artists and the community worldwide.
The artworks, created in a variety of media and styles, explore social gender constructs, while honoring the struggles, triumphs and contributions of women in our world today.
A year into the Pandemic lockdown and as we find ourselves still in confined spaces, artists find freedom in their creativity, showing us the light -and the art- at the end of the tunnel.

Enjoy, and be inspired.
Andrea Arroyo, Curator
