18th Annual
INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S 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!
