In recognition of Women’s History month, G.E.S.S. wanted to recognize the event on our campus by sponsoring an “Empowerment” themed art show.

The purpose of this show is to recognize Women’s History Month as well as empower the viewer. The artists range from Ohio University students, faculty and community members. A semi-formal reception will be held on March 9th from 7:00 PM until 9:00 PM which is open to the public to honor the artists and their work. The show will run until March 27th.

Recognizing this event at a local level helps unite and empower women at a local level—in some cases this is where it is needed most. While each piece of artwork tells a story, it is up to the viewer to interpret that story. Artwork can spark ideas and conversations that other aspects of life and culture cannot. This show is meant to do just that with the intentions of empowerment and enlightening the individual.

In her advanced internet class she created a banner for her high school’s website that celebrates the lives of Abagail Adams, Laura Wilder, Harriet Tubman, Harriet Beecher-Stowe, Madam CJ Walker, Luisa May Alcot, and Bessie Coleman.

Her ingenuis idea exemplified to all Monroe students the importance of Women’s History Month.

“ I am so glad that I had the oppurtunity to show people how amazing these women really were,” said Ashley Chasteen.

So please take a look and remember that anyone can celebrate Women’s History Month, in their own creative way.
