The much-anticipated publication of The Story of Art Without Men by Katy Hessel, demonstrates gender in the art world is a hot topic right now. These dynamics affect how we perceive and value art, as well as how we pass art on to the next generation. How would you have preferred to learn about art during your school years with regard to gender? How do art exhibits demonstrate their gender demographics, if at all? Have you avoided or pursued certain art media because of its perceived masculinity or femininity?

The Galena Center for the Arts is well-suited for a community discussion on gender in the art world due to its staff and board, annual Broad Ideas show, and library - join us for a stimulating conversation! This community discussion will be facilitated by K. Kriesel.
