18th Annual
INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY ART SHOW

March 8 to April 19, 2014

at The Orillia Museum of Art and History (OMAH),
30 Peter Street South, Orillia, Ontario

Theme:  IDENTITY

The International Women’s Day Art Show has become a major event in the area
since its inception by Mary Ann Tully and Linda Tiffin in 1997. Although the exhibit
has been held in five different venues over the years and continues to evolve,
it remains non-profit and independent. An inclusive, positive spirit persists at the
heart of the show.

MISSION STATEMENT

We as women artists have something to say which is different from the ideas and
images expressed by men. Our history and experiences as women have shaped
us to view the world from our own perspectives.

The International Women’s Day Art Show honours and celebrates women’s creative expression, in both a visual and written form. Its main goal is to encourage women
to express themselves artistically in a themed group show, which is not juried and
therefore inclusive. The spirit of the exhibit is one of affirmation and co-operation.

THE FORUM

The main objectives of The Women's Forum are to provide an opportunity for women
to share their stories of art making and to nurture supportive connections among female
artists. The environment of the forum should be non-judgmental and enjoyable for the
women participants. Wherever possible, chairs will be set up in a circle to foster this    atmosphere.



Please read the information on the following pages carefully.
We look forward to your participation in this inspiring annual event!
