SCAC: Art Exhibition: 8 Women Aging Boldly

to June 21st. ‘On the Beach’ – Yvonne Adalian, Tannis Hopkins, Carol Roberts, Lorna Schwenk, Joyce Ozier, Rosemary Burden, Annette Nieukerk, Nicky Evans, Mary Ungerleider

On the Beach is an exhibit about older women by older women. The history of figurative art has long been dominated by the ‘male gaze’ most often depicting women young, nubile and half clothed. The figures of elderly females are practically non-existent in galleries, museums and art history books – subject to the ageism prevalent in our culture – making many feel irrelevant and invisible.
