Women were integral participants in the thriving artistic economy of the Low Countries during one of the most dynamic periods in the region’s history. Works by more than forty women artists from the areas of present-day Flanders in Belgium and the Netherlands are on view, including paintings, prints, sculptures, paper cuttings, and textiles, many presented for the first time in the United States. Dispelling the notion that Dutch and Flemish women artists of the time were rare or obscure, this exhibition reveals their vital role in shaping the visual culture of the region.

  • Tawny Chatmon: Sanctuaries of Truth, Dissolution of Lies

    Oct 15, 2025, to Mar 08, 2026

    Through her photography-based art, Tawny Chatmon (b. 1979, Tokyo, Japan) addresses racist myths and elevates cultural truths. She centers and celebrates Black childhood and family bonds while also recontextualizing dehumanizing dolls, figurines, and food histories. Chatmon intensifies and embellishes her large-scale photographs through both digital techniques and meticulous handmade elements. She elongates the bodies of her models, heightens their features, and adds mosaic-like and embroidered patterns. Presenting these powerful works in ornate frames, Chatmon honors the preciousness of her subjects.

    A person with dark skin tone in a black-and-gold ornate dress with gold chain details wears a wide-brimmed hat decorated with gold fringe and plants, obscuring their eyes. The background shows a cloudy sky.
