## About This Program

> "250 years of feminist history in America; feminist activism, intersectionality, resistance, and reimagining identity and belonging"

Woman Made Gallery (WMG) invites women and nonbinary artists to submit work for Feminism 250: Woman Made America. Anchored in America 250—the nationwide commemoration of the United States' 250th anniversary—this exhibition reflects on the long arc of feminist history within a broader national moment of remembrance, reckoning, and re‑imagining. Themes include histories of erasure and the ongoing struggle for visibility and recognition; reclamation of authorship, narrative power, and cultural agency; feminist activism across time; intersectional experiences of gender, race, class, sexuality, disability, and migration; art as resistance and social transformation; and creative responses to the current political moment. Artists working in any medium at all career stages are encouraged to apply.
