PUNK-ROCK REVIVAL OF THE CARNIVALESQUE

WE'RE BACK! NEW HOME, NEW THEME, SAME BAD-ASS SALON STYLE SHOW!

A century ago, movements like Cabaret, Dada, and Surrealism were artists’ responses to social and political unrest. One hundred years later, we ask: What are we building in a troubled world that’s moving faster than we can grasp?

Our answer? SPECTALiA. In an age of distracting algorithms and spectacular seduction, we’re blurring binaries—of gender, canvas and screen, sense and nonsense.

Here, joy becomes our most subversive act.

This isn’t just a show…it’s a world-building spell.

Join us!

An Art Show for Hundreds of Women.

And That’s Just the Artists.

WE ARE THE WORLD’S LARGEST FEMALE AND NON-BINARY ART BIENNIAL

The Biennial engages artists, through a democratic open call, to cross-pollinate with each other from a variety of mediums, generations, and racial and ethnic backgrounds.

The salon-style exhibition features painting, photography, installation, sculpture, video art, textile, and multimedia works, activated by performance, dance, music, poetry readings, theater, and film.

“Women are often under-represented by the business and institutions of the art world.  The Every Woman Biennial, serves as an important platform with which to explore the  richness and diversity of contemporary female artists.

Through its witty and intelligent  programming, the event is a worthy counterweight to the multitude of festivals,  biennials and fairs that populate the art calendar. This is fresh, necessary and transformative discourse - of which I am happy to support.”

Mickalene Thomas, Artist
