Murphy Gallery St. Catherine University St. Paul, Minnesota September 7 - October 19, 2019 What is Forbidden? The Women’s Art Institute 20th Anniversary Exhibition Artists’ Biographies and Statements The Catherine G. Murphy Gallery St. Catherine University St. Paul, Minnesota September 7 - October 19, 2019 Curators: Elizabeth Erickson Patricia Olson A.K. Garski What is Forbidden? The Women’s Art Institute 20th Anniversary Exhibition 5 Creating the Women’s Art Institute Each year, we carefully study the applications and, we disperse the scholarship funds. Then, we find new articles and images to add into the curriculum and, through our conversation, we come into a place where we are reminded of our specific purpose—to change the world for women, and therefore for men, and ultimately to stop wars. Early in my career as an artist and educator, I recognized the social agreements that built the patriar- chy, as did my colleague Patricia Olson. We first met when we, along with several dozen other women, founded the Women’s Art Registry of Minnesota, a women’s collective art gallery in downtown Minne- apolis in 1976. These were the years when more and more women worked to articulate their under- standing of this perception for themselves, and we felt their company through their books and speeches. After that, action was the only choice. And so, we began the first Women’s Art Institute at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design in 1999. Since then we have been teachers, mentors, facilitators, and cheerleaders for over 300 women artists during the past 20 years.
