Through March 14 — ‘Empoderamienta: The Art of Latina Artists’ at Ventura College

Empoderamienta: The Art of Latina Artists

On display at the Ventura College New Media Gallery will be Empoderamienta: The Art of Latina Artists curated by Ann H. Bittl. This exhibition explores the art of Latin American women artists with an emphasis on the art object as a form of cultural, artistic, and social expression. The exhibition also explores the historic and artistic constructs of women artists in Latin America, who re-created themselves as beguiling personalities, posed uneasily between the worlds of artifice (art) and nature, or the instinctual life.

The exhibit will run March 14 through April 18. The community is invited to the reception on March 14, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. at Ventura College Studio Arts Building, New Media Gallery. Parking is $2. Gallery hours are Monday through Thursday 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. For more information call 805-289-6074.
