Gender Equality Solidarity Society (G.E.S.S.) 2012 Empowerment Art Show March 1-27

By gessouc on March 9th, 2012

G.E.S.S. is a student organization at Ohio University of Chillicothe and our purpose is to promote gender equality and awareness to students and the local community. 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.
