In the United States, 51% of living visual artists are women, yet only 13.7% are represented in galleries. On average, women artists earn 81¢ for every dollar made by their male contemporaries. (Source: National Endowment for the Arts; Artnet Analytics; Maastricht University.)
Legendary: An Exhibition of Women Artists addresses these inequities and aims to rectify them by creating a safe space for women artists to meet, exhibit and engage with the public.
The exhibition, on view from May 26 to August 30, 2025, at The Stacy C. Sherwood Center in Fairfax, Virginia, will feature the artwork of several prominent women artists from the Washington metropolitan area.
An opening reception is scheduled for May 28, 2025, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and a Women’s Workshop Roundtable will take place June 21, 2025, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
