Philadelphia has a long history of women artists, who have successfully taken on the challenge of responding to the lack of professional opportunities available to them. This tradition continues to this day through groups and collectives like Women Holler, ARTsisters, The Colored Girls’ Museum and the Women's Caucus for Art. Representatives from these groups will discuss their experiences and what the future might hold for women and gender-nonconforming artists.
