The Issues of the Moment: What’s the Future for Women Artists?

Panel 1:  Breadlines or broad-based support?  Are there new possibilites for funding women artists?  Are we going from invisibility to visibility?  Are major museums opening up for women artists?

Discussion with Dialogues in the Visual Arts curator Susan Flemminger

Moderated by Judith K. Brodsky, co-director, Rugters Institute for Women and Art, and Kat Griefen, director, A.I.R. Gallery

Featuring panelists:

Joan Snyder, artist

Grimanesa Amoros, artist

Catherine Morris, curator, Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art, Brooklyn Museum

Susan Ball, program director, New York Foundation for the Arts

Tom Finkelpearl, director, Queens Museum

In the current economy, have opportunities diminished for women artists or are there new ones resulting from the administration at the National Endowment for the Arts, and the changes in the foundation world?  How does this intersect with visibility?  Do recent surveys at major museums such as the Pompidou and MoMA, mean increased visibility for all women artists or is this only for certain artists or groups of artists?

Sponsored by the Institute for Women and Art, the Feminist Art Project, A.I.R. Gallery, and the Tribeca Performing Arts Center
