The American Woman: Feminist Futures

The American Woman: Feminist Futures seeks work in any medium that uses feminism as a framework to document, re-envision, and imagine what the American Woman and American Womanhood could look like in the future. The exhibition welcomes utopian, dystopian, fantastical, raw, honest, and real interpretations. As one of the oldest feminist art cooperatives in the United States, Hera Gallery is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2024 by revisiting past exhibitions that continue to have relevance today. The American Woman was one of the first exhibitions at Hera Gallery in 1974, featuring work by founding members Barbara Johns Waterston and Connie Greene Alexander.

Hera Gallery seeks work in all media, including 2D, 3D, and video. 3D work is limited to 100 lbs and must fit through a 5'10" x 6'8" door. 2D work must also fit through the same door. Work samples may include up to 10 images, 6 audio files, and 6 video files, with a minimum of 3 total samples and a maximum of 10. Entry fee is $35.00 plus a $5.00 media fee. The application deadline is March 2, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. MST. Artists will be notified of acceptance by March 28, 2024. Exhibition dates are May 11 - June 15, 2024.
