...celebrating women artists...

fall is approaching and september is a perfect month to check out your local museums for new exhibits. look no further than hoboken or jersey city for a wonderful array of art in various media from women across the country.

• monroe center for the arts: now through september 30th, the 118th annual exhibition of the national association of women artists will feature 230 women artists across the country.



• jersey city museum's "the feminine mystique" show (opening september 20th) will "address feminist issues either directly or obliquely, filtered through a contemporary response to Betty Friedan's critical text, The Feminine Mystique (1963)." i'm personally looking forward to checking out jersey city artist margaret murphy's piece, mother and child (above right). view more of her art & philosophy for this exhibit here.



• more upcoming art events in hoboken where you can rejoice in the artwork of femi ford, a local painter, of poppies fame. see supernova above left and her calendar of paintings here. and check out her online store here.
