Herstory, an exhibit on American women's history

This February, stop by the Gallery at the Park to experience “Herstory,” an art show inspired by American women’s history. The exhibit includes a broad range of women’s history, though it focuses primarily on the history of the suffrage movement in Washington state, Washington state women’s history and American suffrage history.

In the lead-up to the show, “Herstory” considered submissions from U.S. artists over the age of 14, with over 50 works from over 30 different artists now on display. The artworks encompass a wide array of media, including paintings, collages, quilts, sculptures, ceramics and nontraditional media.  

“Herstory” will be on display at the Gallery at the Park from Feb. 4 through Feb. 29. The reception will be held on Sunday, Feb. 9, from 1 to 3 p.m. 

During the reception, the Mid-Columbia Mastersingers will perform selections from their upcoming concert, “Votes for Women: Voices for All,” celebrating the centennial of U.S. women’s suffrage. Additionally, the Richland Players will be showcasing period costumes, and the League of Women Voters will act as jurors for the show and present awards to the winners.
