Curatorial Statement: #WomenKnowStuffToo celebrates women’s expertise as makers in a variety of fields and media. Focus on women’s expertise in art-making has sometimes been lacking, with exhibitions often focusing on what artists represent in their work, more than how they do it, or the levels of skill and technical command they achieve in the process. #WomenKnowStuffToo aims to highlight how women makers develop and deploy skill, accumulated knowledge, and understanding of technique and technology in creating their works. Through this exhibition and the associated program series, #WomenKnowStuffToo aims to engage community members in lively and ongoing conversation celebrating women artists, women’s impact on the arts, and women’s expertise as makers in a wide variety of fields and media.
