Women’s Work is the first international invitational exhibition hosted by Politits Art Coalition: a group of six artists including Lindsey Collier, Melissa Huang, Kristina Kaiser, Rebecca Lomuto, Jacquelyn O’Brien, and Tina Starr. As part of our mission to support women in the arts, the Politits Art Coalition has invited over forty women artists to participate in this pop-up exhibition at The Yards!
