Every Woman Biennial is here to dazzle, disrupt, and dance in the streets of the East Side | amNewYork

"This year's theme, Spectalia, invited artists (over 800 of them) to submit work that was carnivalesque and over the top and really colorful and joyful and spirited, according to C.Finley, the founder of the EWB and a curator as well, along with Molly Caldwell, Ash Edes and Erin Ko."

"It vibrates with intelligence, talent, energy, variety, humor and just about everything else that you'd want to see in a multi-artist exhibit. I feel like the work is better, and also the space is better. Pen + Brush is a gorgeous space, and it's three times larger than what we had in the past."

"It's a dream come true to be in a space that has been honoring women for 131 years, says Finley. Dawn Delikat, Parker Daley Garcia and Bird Piccininni, who are the leaders in that organization, are incredible women. They are phenomenal human beings; their hearts are so big."

The Every Woman Biennial is a salon-style group exhibition featuring 400 women and non-binary artists working in various mediums at the Pen + Brush gallery. This year's theme, Spectalia, invited over 800 artists to submit work that is carnivalesque, colorful, joyful, and spirited. Curators C. Finley, Molly Caldwell, Ash Edes, and Erin Ko selected the final 400 artists. The exhibition vibrates with intelligence, talent, energy, variety, and humor. The Pen + Brush gallery, which has honored women for 131 years, provided a space three times larger than previous venues. The public opening occurred on March 8, featuring performances and celebrating the organization's historical commitment to women artists.
