“Women Strong” – A Multimedia Exhibit
Celebrating the Life and Art of Women in the Dayton Region

February 7 through March 29, 2019
Dayton Metro Library (215 E. Third St.)
Artists Reception: Feb. 17 from 3-5pm

In the spring of last year, artists gathered together to meet each other, all chosen by Audrey Masden Davis and Janet Olney Lasley, retired educators and artists themselves. The idea driving this project was to bring women of varied backgrounds together as a team to show their work. In April of 2018, the group began meeting monthly in each others homes to get acquainted with each other and each other’s work. As of August 21, artists have presented an overview of their history as an artist and the making of art in the present. They have become a warm, encouraging and challenging team of women. The exhibiting artists are: Diana Barr, Yvette Walker-Dalton, Audrey Davis, Lois Fortson-Kirk, Erin Smith-Glenn, Cydnie Deeds King, Janet Lasley, Nasrin Majidi, Marsha Pippenger, Frances Turner and Yufeng Wang. Contact Persons are Audrey Davis (audrey@wbdavisart.com) and Janet Lasley (janetolneylasley@gmail.com)
