Women's Works 2021 - 34th Annual Show

Eligibility: International

Women’s Works is a juried fine art exhibit, celebrating women artists and is presented annually by the Northwest Area Arts Council at the Old Court House Arts Center in Woodstock, IL. Women’s Works provides an opportunity to showcase the creative artwork of women artists in North America and internationally. This year will mark the 34th Anniversary of the show. Due to Covid, we have moved this year's show to June, with the hope that vaccinations will allow us a larger audience to see the show. For more information on the Old Court House Arts Center please visit our website (http://www.oldcourthouseartscenter.org) for past Women's Works shows, information on NAAC and the other shows that are presented each year at the gallery.

JUDGE: The Northwest Area Arts Council is proud to have Chicago-based artist Audra Jacot as our judge. Audra Jacot's work celebrates the empowerment of sexuality, emphasizing on being unapologetic and owning yourself and your desires. She works in multiple mediums, but her main loves are clay and neon. In confronting her own sexuality, she draws inspiration from her Filipina-Mormon upbringing. Jacot received her MFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2014, through the Art & Technology Studies program.

ONLINE GALLERY: This year we will also be adding an online gallery with work for sale online as well. We will be building and advertising this gallery in partnership with the online art services firm Biafarin (www.biafarin.com). In addition to their own site, Biafarin will have the show available on 2 other online art sites as well for more exposure. For a sample of how this will look, we invite you to view last year's gallery for the 2020 Women's Works show: https://www.biafarin.com/p/ww2020.html
