Beginning March 1 and running through April 29, the "Women's View 2022" exhibit comes to Redwood City to celebrate the female gaze of diversity.
This year, artwork by more than 70 local artists will be on display at The Caldwell & Community Galleries, located at 400 County Center in Redwood City.
It will be the venue for "Women's View 2022," San Mateo County's 17th Annual Women's Art Exhibition, to recognize, celebrate and honor women, non-binary and gender non-conforming artists living or working in San Mateo County.
"Women's View 2022" is co-sponsored by the San Mateo County Commission on the Status of Women in March, the nation's Women's History Month.
The exhibition presents a wide range of media: painting, photography, charcoal drawing, mixed media, digital painting and thread work.
The "Women's View 2022" artists also represent the great diversity that reflects San Mateo County's largest community.
In their artistic practices, these artists draw on a wide range of heritages, lived experiences and finely tuned imaginations.
