MEMBER NEWS
Bonnie MacAllister
Is being featured on the International Museum of Women (San Francisco)'s site for activism and art. Hope you'll take a look.
Here's what the museum says about her in the exhibition, Imagining Equality:
"In this series, multimedia artist Bonnie MacAllister conflates photographs of women on the international stage, such as vigilante activists like Riot Girl, to the women in her own life to create embroidered works that she calls "riart"--art as riot, or revolution."

"Contemporary Women Artists XVII- Reimaging Femmage"
February 20-April 4, 2015
Juror's presentation: Friday February 20th, 5-6:00pm
Reception: Friday February 20th, 6:8:00pm
Foundry Art Centre, 520 North Main St., St. Charles MO 63301

The theme is based on the work of feminist Miriam Schapiro. Influenced by the feminist movement of the early 1970s, she changed her style radically, embracing the use of textiles as symbolic of feminine labor.
Schapiro developed a method of collage, assemblage and painting that
used found or saved material relating to women's lives and traditionally
female skills such as embroidery and quilting, calling it "femmage"
Juried by Lisa Melandri, Executive Director of the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis (CAM). Prior to joining CAM, Melandri served as the
Deputy Director for Exhibitions and Programs at the Santa Monica Museum of Art, where she curated a number of notable exhibitions and oversaw programming of the Project Room, a dynamic exhibition series at the museum featuring national and international emerging artists.
This is one of the oldest running biennial exhibitions that focus on the work of women artists in the Midwest ( circa 1977 ). This exhibition is open to all women and women-identified artists in the US and abroad.
