“A Hooded Intellect #2” by Amy Kitchin Hower

This exhibit celebrates the achievements of women in the U.S. over the past 100 years, since the historic ratification of the 19th Amendment, which ensured that the right to vote could not be denied based on sex. This amendment also led the way to more social equality and social reform. Explore the suffrage movement beginning in the 1850s, the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 60s, or the struggle that continues into present day. Progress is achieved in incremental steps, and the movement towards total equality in America continues. Lift your voice, make art, and vote.

Over $1,000 in cash Artist Awards will be presented by Elizabeth Bennett-Parker, Vice Mayor of Alexandria, in both the high school and members categories. Special contributions towards the awards provided by the Kiwanis Club of Alexandria, Community Partner McD Mateos, and exhibit curators.

Women’s Right to Vote: 100 Years Since the 19th Amendment is a Del Ray Artisans exhibit open only to members, area high school students, and 2020 high school graduates. If you are not a member (or a student), you may join Del Ray Artisans now to enter.
