H.E.R. | History, Empowerment, Resilience 2025 exhibition invites artists of all backgrounds and identities to celebrate the influence of women in our lives and communities. This exhibition honors the diverse roles women embody—from daughters and friends to mentors, leaders, and visionaries. Artists are encouraged to reflect on and explore the ways in which women shape our experiences, traditions, and futures. Through painting, sculpture, photography, and more, we welcome works that pay tribute to the legacy of women’s strength, resilience, and creativity. Whether you’re inspired by personal relationships, historical figures, or abstract ideas of womanhood, this exhibition is a space to share and celebrate the profound impact of women across generations.
