New York Society of Women Artists Presents Into the NOW – The Time of Our Lives
Founded in 1925, the New York Society of Women Artists (NYSWA) has stood at the forefront of women-led artistic innovation. Their centennial exhibition Into the NOW – The Time of Our Lives, opening June 24 at Manhattan’s Ceres Gallery, reflects the visionary creativity, resiliency, and importance of women artists today. “Our Centennial is not just a reflection of history, but a living testament to the power of women’s voices in art,” says Lori Horowitz, NYSWA President. “We are forging forward with purpose, passion, and vision.”
Each piece speaks to the artist’s role, individually and collectively, as an advocate confronting questions and challenges of our time. Art critic Eleanor Heartney notes in the NYSWA Centennial catalog that the Society remains “a vibrant force for innovation, advocacy, and artistic excellence,” grounded in the legacy of its suffragist foremothers. “This exhibition is both a celebration and a call to action, honoring our legacy while standing together, amplifying diverse voices and visibility for all women artists,” states Natalie Giugni, NYSWA Advisory Chair.
