About the ArtTable Fellowship Program
Established in 2000, the ArtTable National Fellowship provides quality real work experiences and mentorship to women-identifying and non-binary emerging professionals from backgrounds generally underrepresented in the visual arts field. During the paid, five-to-eight-week summer program, the fellows will work closely with established leaders in the field to gain exposure to a range of professional activities at leading museums and arts organizations. They also receive one-on-one mentoring from leading professionals who are ArtTable members and are specialized in their areas of interest.

New York | Annual Leadership Series: The Future of Gender-Based Organizations
2023-09-05 18:30 - 20:30 (America/New_York) | 22 Vanderbilt, 335 Madison Ave, New York, New York, 10017
Welcome to ArtTable’s 2023 Annual Leadership Series panel discussion on Tuesday, September 5 in New York City! “The Future of Gender Based Organizations” engages the arts and business communities in a critical examination of how organizations dedicated to addressing existing gender-based disparities in wages and opportunities can continue to research, advocate, network, and address inequities—particularly as the culture moves forward into a more evolved understanding of gender identity. In the panel discussion, we will consider the value and meaning of gender-based organizations, their changing roles, purposes, and goals, and the context and consequences of leading such organizations in a changing political and cultural moment. The program will continue to establish ArtTable as an advocate for equality within and beyond the art community. Our panel features: Alyssa Nitchun, Executive Director of the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art; Subha V. Barry, President of Seramount; Alicin Williamson, Chief Diversity and Culture Officer, Yahoo!; and Jessica L. Porter, Lila Harnett Executive Director of ArtTable. Sociologist Dr. Gillian Gualtieri will moderate this important discussion. We’ll open with time to network and socialize over refreshments and light bites.This signature ArtTable program was initially launched in 2016, and since its inception, the series has been featured during Armory Show week, fostering engaging conversations among prominent women-identifying and nonbinary professionals. It has provided a platform for these influential voices to discuss the most pressing and relevant topics within our industries. We are proud to partner with the Women’s Forum of New York, a leading organization that is similarly committed to equity, advocacy, and community engagement. Women’s Forum Members can register here.

The program will be moderated by Dr. Gillian Gualtieri, Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at Barnard College, with panelists:

National | "The Private Eye in Public Art" with Joyce Pomeroy Schwartz & Lowery Stokes Sims
2023-09-13 18:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York) | West 54th St. or Zoom, New York
Beyond a traditional book launch, spend an evening with two leading lights of the art world, Joyce Pomeroy Schwartz and Lowery Stokes Sims. Their foundational contributions to ArtTable and the art community cannot be overstated; you won’t want to miss this chance to dive into their professional expertise, stories, and unique perspectives as they discuss Pomeroy Schwartz’s 2023 book The Private Eye in Public Art. Joyce will honor ArtTable’s founder, Lila Harnett, (in absentia) and foundational members Carole Morgan and Randy Rosen.

Our zoom guests will be with us for the interview; our in-person guests are welcome to network from 6-6:30 and enjoy wine and light bites—with gratitude to Joyce for hosting! (If you’re in the Washington, DC area, you can join your DC Chapter for a watch party—see below.)The Private Eye in Public Art, “is an indispensable guide to the perils, pains, and pleasures of making art for architecture, how people respond to that art, and how and why that reception may change over time. This book is for all who are involved in the creation, exhibition, and preservation of contemporary public art: artists, selection committees, scholars, students, art professionals, and the wider public.”“I have known Joyce for a long time―since 1972, when there was a glass ceiling for working women―but not for Joyce. She joined the Pace Gallery as Director of Commissions, helping artists realize their works of public art―and cracked her way through that ceiling. When I founded ArtTable, the leadership organization for professional women in the visual arts, Joyce came aboard, and to this day she is a member of that team.” ―Lila Harnett, Founder, ArtTable

For our in-person guests: this event is Bring-Your-Own-Book! Joyce would be delighted to sign your copy of The Private Eye in Public Art if you would be so kind as to bring it with you. You can purchase it on Amazon (faster delivery) or from the publisher, Oro Editions.

Virtual | Fine Art in Healthcare with Melissa Dallal, Ellen Rudolph, Cade Tompkins, Susana Bautista, and Jane Borthwick
2023-10-05 18:00 - 19:00 (America/New_York) | Virtual
3 pm PDT / 4 pm MDT / 5 pm CDT / 6 pm EDT

Major medical institutions take art seriously and recognize its importance in healthcare settings. Creating sophisticated cultural spaces in these environments is its own professional discipline—parallel to how art advisors collaborate with art and design partners in hospitality and corporate settings, but with its own purpose, parameters, and vision. Join us for a fascinating virtual panel discussion featuring Melissa Dallal, Project Manager, Interior Design at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center; Ellen Rudolph, in-house Curator and Senior Director, Cleveland Clinic Art Collection; Susana Smith Bautista, Associate Vice President and Chief Curator, AltaMed Art Collection; and curator and gallerist Cade Tompkins of Cade Tompkins Projects. The conversation will be moderated by art advisor and collection strategist—and former ArtTable Board President—Jane Borthwick.We’ll look at themes including how art advisors in this field access art and artists, and how they can identify artists from diverse and adjacent community backgrounds who can connect with the patient, staff, and visitor populations at specific locations. Art advisors also identify and present emergent talent whose work will appreciate in value and that is affordable for healthcare institutions. We will hear about evolving and innovative collaborative models where art advisors are actively incorporating the input of stakeholders including healthcare professionals, patients, and families; ultimately serving the purpose of healing and inspiration in these communities while creating a built-in stewardship of the collection.

Luster’s immersive solo exhibition “Finding Home” at Vox Populi Gallery tells the stories of their models’ safe spaces through mixed-media paintings, text, and film. Each model’s individual story informs the creation of these imaginative havens that come together to form a physical safe space. The exhibition acts as a place of healing for black and queer people and the respective communities. Luster highlights their identity and perspective through the luminescence of black skin with fluorescent undertones and the vibrance of queerness through shimmering overlays of glitter. Other materials, such oil and acrylic paints, fabric, glue, market on paper, wood panels, found objects, and canvas, come together to materialize these idyllic realms.
“At the beginning of my practice, I focused on self-portraiture and explored the lack of security and safety as a Queer Black woman through depictions of unsettling bathroom scenes in “The American Bathroom” series. This body of work critiqued our failed incarceration system and the unhinged violence I experienced along with others in my community through large-scale erie-colored oil paintings on wooden panels. I developed creative programming and community building with other Queer, Women, and Black-led organizations and community leaders through talks, fellowships, and residencies that allowed me to collaborate on performances and discussions on Black and Queerness with regards to self-autonomy, community discussions, and collage workshops that welcomed people of all artistic backgrounds to create work that explored identity. Through this work, I shared the universal feeling of wanting to feel safe with individuals of all backgrounds. Through the relationships formed and stories I heard during the creation of “The American Bathroom” series, I knew that our stories could not end with trauma and violence. I discovered that creating a sacred space within myself and others in my community leads to healing, peace, and safety. This inspired my current project “Finding Home.” “

About the Artist

Judy Chicago‘s contributions to feminist art and her exploration of women’s history and culture have left a lasting legacy in the art world, inspiring generations of artists and pushing the boundaries of traditional artistic practices for over sixty years.

Chicago’s work has been exhibited in the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. Throughout her career, Chicago has remained steadfast in her commitment to the power of art as a vehicle for intellectual transformation and social change and to women’s right to engage in the highest level of art production. She has become a symbol for people everywhere, known and respected as an artist, writer, teacher, feminist and humanist whose work and life are models for an enlarged definition of art, an expanded role for the artist, and women’s right to freedom of expression. In 2018 Chicago was named both one of Time Magazine’s “100 Most Influential People” and a 2018 “Most Influential Artist” by Artsy Magazine. In 2019, she received the Visionary Woman award from the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago.

At this collaborative workshop, Dr. Gillian Gualtieri will present the findings from our first white paper report: “Costs of Working in the Arts.” Then, attendees will collaboratively respond to the findings and begin to build solutions and suggestions that will be incorporated into the final document and circulated among members. The solution is not individual, but, rather shared, and we hope this program will be the first in a series of evidence-based workshops informed by and informing our continued research.Add your voice to this important conversation!

“Now, with a radical client like Miss Barnsdall, a site like Olive Hill, a climate like California, an architect head on for freedom, something had to happen… So this Romanza of California came out on Olive Hill.” —Frank Lloyd Wright: An Autobiography, 1943

Heiress Aline Barnsdall (1882-1946) created a revolutionary life: a feminist, traveler, single mother by design, supporter of experimental Chicago theatre, close friend of Emma Goldman, early patron of The Hollywood Bowl, and champion of revolutionary causes. Barnsdsall commissioned an equally iconic home from Frank Lloyd Wright, intended to be the center of an Olive Hill arts complex. Barnsdall gifted Hollyhock House and Barnsdall Park to the City of Los Angeles in 1927, and it was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2019.“Hollyhock House has inspired generations of artists, architects, and designers. It is a harbinger of California Modernism and designed by Wright in response to the region, capturing the drama of Hollywood and embracing building traditions of the American southwest.” —Hollyhock House Education Thank you to ArtTable Board Vice-President, Felice Axelrod!Admission:

New York, NY | Gallery Talk with Nancy Koenigsberg
2024-02-15 17:00 - 18:30 (America/New_York) | Nancy Hoffman Gallery, 520 West 27 Street, New York, New York, 10001, United States
Installation view of Nancy Koenigsberg: Line and Shadow, Nancy Hoffman Gallery, 2024

Join ArtTable for an inspiring artist talk exploring Nancy Koenigsberg: Line and Shadow at Chelsea’s Nancy Hoffman Gallery, established in 1972 and currently supporting artists working on four continents.

Through the works on view in Line and Shadow, Koenigsberg will discuss the evolution of her practice. Her first exhibition with Nancy Hoffman Gallery, it includes approximately 25 works made between 1998 and 2023, and focuses on wire sculpture. Woven or knotted wire grids are shaped and layered; juxtapositions between shiny and dull, fragile and industrial-strength materials challenge and engage the viewer visually and conceptually. Koenigsberg says the grids featured in much of her work reflect the city streets she knows so well as a New Yorker, as well as the nuances and intricacies of the textile world she’s been immersed in for decades.

Koenigsberg co-founded the Textile Study Group of New York in 1977, inviting well-regarded artists from around the world to examine the historical and technical importance of textile practices, from the ancient to the most contemporary. Koenigsberg now serves as President Emerita of the Textile Study Group and in 2022 became a Fellow of the American Craft Council.

This talk is made possible with the generous support of the Pollock-Krasner Foundation.

Celebrate International Women’s Day with a very special curator-led tour of (Re)FOCUS: Then and Now at Moore College of Art & Design in downtown Philadelphia. With Judith K. Brodsky, Judith E. Stein, and Diane Burko, three of the original Focus team, we will explore this two-part installation.:

(Re)FOCUS: Then commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of Philadelphia Focuses on Women in the Visual Arts: FOCUS, a citywide festival highlighting women in the arts which took place across multiple Philadelphia venues in 1974. Curated by Brodsky and Burko, who brought the original FOCUS to life in 1974, (Re)FOCUS: Then reunites works by the 81 artists represented in the original exhibition, including Louise Bourgeois, Lee Krasner, Howardena Pindell, Faith Ringgold, Alma Thomas, and Moore College graduate Alice Neel.

(Re)FOCUS: Now—curated by Gabrielle Lavin Suzenski, Director of the Galleries at Moore; Denise M. Brown, Executive Director of the Leeway Foundation; and Isa Isioma Matisse of The Future is Us Collective—explores themes of social justice, gender identity, equity, and power present in the recent work of Philadelphia-based artists, several of whom are Moore graduates. Over fifteen multidisciplinary visual artists, educators, and performers are represented, including Wit López, Atisha Fordyce, and Moore faculty member Li Sumpter.

Learn more about the exhibition in recent coverage from WHYY News and The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Like the original FOCUS, (Re)FOCUS: Then and Now at Moore College of Art & Design is part of a citywide arts festival: Re(FOCUS) 2024, happening through May 31 at over 30 venues across the Philadelphia area. The Colored Girls Museum, the Free Library of Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Academy of the Fine Arts, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art are just a few of the institutions hosting Re(FOCUS) 2024 exhibitions and events—we encourage ArtTable members to visit!

Virtual Workshop | Parenting in the Artistic Labor Market: Results from ArtTable’s Pay Equity Survey
2024-05-01 12:00 - 13:30 (America/New_York) | Virtual
9 am PST / 10 am MST / 11 am CST / 12 pm EST

VIRTUAL | Parenting in the Artistic Labor Market

Since the fall of 2022, ArtTable has conducted a survey to better understand compensation—and compensation inequity—in the arts, with a particular focus on gender and compensation. At this collaborative workshop, Dr. Gillian Gualtieri will present on parenting in the artistic labor market. Then, attendees will collaboratively respond to the presentation and begin to build solutions and suggestions that will be incorporated into our published findings and circulated among members. The solution is not individual, but, rather shared. In this third workshop of ArtTable’s Pay Equity Initiatives, we hope this program will be a collaborative effort in informing our continued research.Add your voice to this important conversation!

The Impact Initiatives Fund supports ArtTable’s annual fellowship program, Career RoundTable events, this Pay Equity project, as well as various mentorship opportunities at the organization. Please consider a contribution to this fund with your registration.

Washington, DC | Curator-Led Tour: Revolutions: Art from the Hirshhorn Collection, 1860-1960

Meet ArtTable in DC for a curator-led tour of Revolutions: Art from the Hirshhorn Collection, 1860-1960 with Dr. Marina Isgro, Associate Curator of Media and Performance Art at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution. In anticipation of the fiftieth anniversary of the Hirshhorn’s opening on October 4, 2024, Revolutions places the work of 19 contemporary artists in dialogue with that of 117 artists who worked between 1860 and 1960: the century that introduced Modernism and abstraction, and led up to the Hirshhorn’s establishment by Congress in 1966. An audio guide by Katy Hessel—part of her Museums Without Men series—accompanies the exhibition, highlighting the women represented in Revolutions, whose work completes and complicates art historical narratives they were frequently written out of. Revolutions‘ dialogue between living artists—including Torkwase Dyson, Loie Hollowell, and Catherine Opie—and their 19th- and 20th-century counterparts—such as Berenice Abbott, Mary Cassatt, and Alma Thomas—reveals the resonance and relevance of these earlier works in our contemporary culture.

ArtTable is honored to present a conversation between Joan Jonas and Laura Hoptman, Executive Director of The Drawing Center, exploring the artist’s exhibition Joan Jonas: Animal, Vegetable, Mineral. Curated by Hoptman, The Drawing Center’s exhibition is the first major retrospective to focus on Jonas’ substantial body of works on paper. Jonas and Hoptman will discuss the centrality of drawing to the artist’s practice, documenting her process and tying together her work in sculpture, performance, and recorded media. The works on view in Animal, Vegetable, Mineral focus on the natural world, a lifelong source of inspiration for Jonas. This is a rare opportunity to witness a legendary figure in postwar and contemporary art interpret the evolution of her practice through over 300 of her drawings.

Following this 40-minute conversation, attendees will be able to explore the exhibition on their own. The Drawing Center will remain open until 6:00 PM.

Washington, DC | Curator-Led Tour: Time-Based Media at the National Portrait Gallery
2024-06-12 16:30 - 17:30 (America/New_York) | National Portrait Gallery, 8th & G Streets NW, Washington, DC, 20001, United States
Expand your understanding and appreciation of time-based media on this special tour for the ArtTable community, led by Dr. Charlotte Ickes, Curator of Time-Based Media and Special Projects at the National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution. As the pace of technological innovation continues to accelerate, so too will the quantity of art produced within this precisely defined, yet expansive category: time-based media, or art that reveals itself to the viewer or over time, encompasses film, audio, computer, and slide-based works. As the National Portrait Gallery and its peer institutions build their collections in time-based media, they are confronted with complex questions regarding the interpretation, installation, and conservation of these works, as well as the opportunity to define best practices for future generations of scholars. Dr. Ickes’ tour will cover highlights of the National Portrait Gallery’s acquisitions in time-based media, as well as explore how her Smithsonian colleagues have been grappling with these issues.
