In retrospect one can see how many groundbreaking
ideas begin |
|
|
in the experiment of the Feminist Art Program.
At the time
it seemed chaotic, volatile and sometimes wrong directed,
even though it was exciting and inspiring. Twenty years later
history is trying to tie it into a neat package. It was not. |

We were the first group of women artists |
|
|
to study art at an accredited art school
in history. The Smithsonian Historical Records
in Washington D.C. noted this new phenomenon
in art education. I am always proud of that fact. |

|
Now that the Feminist Art Movement has begun
to be historicized, |
|
|
and its influence on mainstream art traced -
through books, exhibitions,
symposia, and doctoral dissertations - it is clear that we did help to change
art history, and that our work continues to have a transformative impact
on many young women and men artists. |
