Art is Her Exhibition Series

From 2020 to 2023, the Trout Museum of Art’s Atrium gallery wad dedicated to a year-round Art is Her initiative. The Art is Her exhibition series celebrated female-identifying artists and championed their goal of achieving museum presence equal to men. Women have long seen inequality in the art world, and today remain dramatically underrepresented and undervalued in museums, galleries, and auction houses.
