A Dual Exhibition Exchange with Woman Made Gallery
Join us for a free, collaborative gallery tour celebrating the body through two powerful exhibitions, and the two Chicago galleries bringing them to life.
On June 13 from 10am to 12pm, we're kicking off at ARC Gallery (1463 W Chicago Ave) where ARC member Raissa Bailey will walk us through Body Sovereignty, a show that invites us to reclaim and reexamine what it means to inhabit our own bodies. From there, we'll make our way together to Woman Made Gallery (1332 S Halsted St), where Rebekah Baker will guide us through Bodies Luminous, a radiant exploration of the body as a site of light, identity, and expression.
A Historic Collaboration ARC Gallery and Woman Made Gallery are two of Chicago's most prestigious and enduring champions of women in the arts. For decades, both institutions have been dedicated to amplifying the work of women and gender-expansive artists, creating space for voices that have too often been pushed to the margins of the art world. That these two pillars of Chicago's arts community are coming together — not just to exhibit, but to actively collaborate and build bridges between their audiences — is something truly worth celebrating. This exchange reflects a shared belief that feminist art spaces are stronger together, and that the conversations happening in one gallery are enriched by what's happening in another.
The tour is free and open to all. Just bring your curiosity.
How to get in between the two galleries: The two galleries are a short 17-minute drive or a 30-minute bus ride apart. Carpooling is encouraged.
Coffee and refreshments will be provided at Woman Made Gallery
