Feminist art exhibition begins March 12
HUNTINGTON - Mavens Nine, an exhibition by The Feminist Art Project, will open at 6 p.m. Friday, March 12, at Gallery 842 in Huntington. The exhibition will continue until Friday, April 23.
The Feminist Art Project is an established group of local artists who share the common goal of highlighting the talent and significance of female artists. The collection of artists is a continuation of the group previously launched by Katherine Cox in 2008.
Featured artists in Mavens Nine include Earline Allen, Natalie Burdette, Katherine Cox, Mary Grassell, Linda Helgason, Natalie Larsen, Staci Leech, Carter Seaton and Kristen Zammiello, many of whom are part-time or full-time faculty at Marshall University's College of Fine Arts. The work included in the exhibition varies in both medium and subject matter. Media range from graphite drawings and oil paintings to pottery and other three-dimensional pieces.
Gallery 842 is a community- and university-held space to promote local talent and initiative. The gallery, located at 842 4th Ave. in downtown Huntington, is free. It is open Tuesdays through Saturdays from noon to 5 p.m.
