Begun in the fall of 2008, the project includes black and white analog portraits of over 100 artistic women, including the visual arts, poetics, music and dance.  The intent is to showcase the many talented women in the arts – an often overlooked group.

“The project will go on forever,” says Saint Peter, “a kind of Judy Chicago ‘Dinner Party’ that just keeps evolving.”

We're looking forward to the opening of this exhibition. Katie Murken's work is intellectual and emotional simultaneously.  There is often an unexpected beauty in her work that envelopes you while asking so many questions.

The Wall of Women (WoW) is an ongoing project conceived by Philadelphia photographer / artist, Anne Saint Peter, to honor the many talented women of all disciplines in the Arts.

Proposals are being accepted for art in and on vacant storefronts along Lancaster Avenue for display from September 30th to November 30th. Think creatively! Proposals will be judged on artistic merit, how they use the space and integrate with the surrounding neighborhood, and how well thought out and practical the project is from concept to installation. This opportunity is open to artists working in any medium. Work that is responsive to the site is of special interest.
