The Harlow presents Women.Respond!, a group art exhibition on view August 2-September 7, 2019 at 100 Water street in Hallowell. The public is invited to attend and meet the artists at an opening reception and party on Friday, August 2, from 5-7pm - featuring live music by Bait Bag and performance by Shaunna Rai.

The exhibition resulted from an open call to artists of all identities and backgrounds to submit work responding to the following: Body image, male sexual misconduct, discrimination, gender identity, likeability are just a few of many issues women are faced with on a daily basis. As a woman, how do you respond artistically to current events? If you are a person who does not identify as a woman - what attributes do you think are essential for defining female-ness in today’s world? Is it a fluid line? 

Women.Respond! highlights responses by over 40 Maine artists working in a wide range of media including painting, video, ceramics, fiber art, photography, mixed media, and more. Submissions were juried by a curatorial committee comprised of Deb Fahy, and Amy Peters Wood, and fine art and museum consultant Daphne Anderson Deeds.
