The Women’s Right to Vote: 100 Years Since the 19th Amendment exhibit at Del Ray Artisans 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.
This art exhibit features the work of Del Ray Artisans members and local area high school students. Artwork explores the suffrage movement beginning in the 1850s, the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 60s, and the struggle that continues into present day. Progress is achieved in incremental steps, and the movement towards total equality in America continues. The year 2020 marks an unprecedented time of turmoil in U.S. history. One hundred years after the ratification of the 19th Amendment, and in the midst of a world-wide pandemic, a presidential race, social justice demonstrations, and economic recession, lift your voice and vote.
The Women’s Right to Vote: 100 Years Since the 19th Amendment exhibit runs November 6-28, 2020 at Del Ray Artisans gallery in the Colasanto Center, 2704 Mount Vernon Avenue, Alexandria, Virginia 22301. Gallery hours are Thursday & Friday 12-6pm, Saturday 12-4pm. Please wear a face mask and maintain 6? of personal space. The gallery is free, open to the public, and accessible.
For more information, please contact the curators Amy Kitchin Hower (alkitchin.dc@gmail.com), Karen Schmitz (kschmitzart@gmail.com), and Drew Cariaso (druamaart@comcast.net).

The past year was unlike any other, challenging us to ask what really matters and what makes us happy, scares us, or inspires hope. Capture some of these ideas and images by creating a “hidden world” collage that tucks into a 7.5 x 10″ wooden box with a hinged lid. Learn about collage materials and techniques as you combine pictures of what’s important to you – whether something experienced in the natural world (people, plants, animals, birds, insects, even microscopic organisms), or in your personal or inner emotional world. The finished box will be ready to hang on a wall or display on a table. No experience needed!

About the Instructor: Amy Klene is a grandmother of nine. She started photography while in college but decided that, even though accepted for a MFA in Photography, it would not provide the steady income needed. Now that she has retired from IT contract project management, farmer’s markets (selling cut flowers, perennials, and shrubs), and her children are now on their own, she is enjoying once again having time to enjoy photography. She is an award-winning photographer and active member of the Manassas-Warrenton Camera Club, Virginia Beltway Photographers, Saab Club of North America, and Central Penn Saab. She lives near Manassas where she runs errands for her husband’s family business and Saab collection, helps with grandchildren, and actively pursues photography.
