Opening Saturday, August 29th, from 4PM - 7PM
On view through Saturday, September 26th
CHICAGO—Woman Made Gallery pleased to present Feminism 250: Woman Made America, a group exhibition featuring work by 52 women and nonbinary artists across a wide range of mediums. The exhibition opens with a public reception on Saturday, August 29, from 4 to 7 p.m., and remains on view through September 26, 2026, at Woman Made Gallery, 1332 S. Halsted St., Chicago.
Anchored in America 250, the nationwide commemoration of the United States’ 250th anniversary, Feminism 250 looks back at 250 years of feminist thought and action, from early demands for basic rights to today’s movements for gender justice and asks how that history can guide the feminist futures still being built.
Selected from an open call of more than 700 pieces, the works on view engage themes including erasure and visibility, reclamation of authorship and narrative power, intersectional experience, art as resistance, and personal narratives that speak to broader struggles for equity and representation.
