MISSION
The mission of this project is to provide to a diverse group of women artists a place to exhibit their artwork. It will give them the opportunity to have a visual voice, which they may not have had before. This will be accomplished in an art exhibition where they can display their work in a professional gallery setting.

As part of this mission, Katherine Baronet and Art on Main owner, Andrea Lamarsaude will conduct an Artist Mentorship Workshop as to what is involved in preparing for an art exhibition. This includes the following components: artwork wired and framed, installation of the work, prepping walls, labeling/pricing artwork, how to handle sales, marketing tools (web, social media, email, and print, etc.) and how to invite people/public and their families and friends to an Artist Reception (Opening and Closing) of their work.

CALL FOR ARTISTS
Women in Art – Revealing Our Magnificence is a juried exhibition celebrating the splendor, grandeur, and creative power of women artists.

Artists are invited to reflect on stories, qualities, or states of being that embody magnificence — whether through bold color, commanding form, movement, vision, or deeply personal expressions of authenticity. The work may evoke the awe of snow-covered mountains, radiant inner strength, or something incredibly grand, beautiful, or impressive.

This exhibition is intentionally inclusive and mentorship-focused, welcoming women artists (18+) of all ethnicities and backgrounds, particularly those with minimal prior gallery exhibition experience, offering both visibility and professional growth.

I want artists to awaken to their innate, authentic selves and reveal magnificence through line, form, color, movement, and energy.
— Katherine Baronet, Curator
