ABOUT THE SHOW

Are you a little weary of those art shows that try to force their 
politics on you? In this show the politics may be less forward, but 
how the female form has been presented in art is one of the important 
aspects of our culture.  Come explore with artists such as 

Gail Kubalski
Bernadette Glorioso
Rustin McCann
Todd V
Sheree Ferato,
Diane Talmadge
Gretchen Gaede
Candice Dangerfield
Marcus Bales
Jill Hungerford
John Kulka
Greg Terepka

and 20 others how the female form signifies and resonates in 
contemporary art.

These men and women are exploring the further ranges of what it means 
to make art, and their approaches move along a continuum from grand 
fun to the High Sublime. 

Also, don=B4t forget this:
