Final Call to Female Artists: Florida Keys Women’s Art Exhibition Returns to the Key West Museum of Art & History

December 30, 2024 – (KEY WEST, FL).  The Key West Art & Historical Society is reviving its popular juried art exhibition, “From a Woman’s Hand,” and invites Florida Keys women to apply before the January 3, 2025, deadline.  The exhibit in the Key West Museum of Art & History’s Bumpus Gallery will feature paintings, sculptures, photographs, drawings, prints, textiles, and ceramics created by female artists.

Drawn entirely from the Florida Keys community, the exhibit illuminates the remarkable achievements of women artists who have been marginalized for centuries.  The exhibition aims to celebrate the Keys’ thriving arts community through the eyes of women.  Around 40 artists included in the exhibition come from all walks of life and varying levels of professionalism.  Arts community leaders Elena Devers, Martha Resk, Emma Starr, and Cori Convertito, Ph.D. will jury the exhibit.

The submission fee for artists is $25, which will offset the cost of the opening reception that takes place on February 7 and is open to the public.  Only one submission per artist, with a deadline of January 3; all mediums and themes will be considered but work must have been completed within the last three years and cannot have been displayed previously at the museum.  Artist notification is January 20 with delivery dates January 30 and 31.  The display runs through April 20.
