2pm PT / 3pm MT / 4pm CT / 5pm ET
At its inception, ArtTable was a driving force for gender parity in the arts – creating community, driving policy change, and building a network of resources for women to forge a confident and unquestioned place as leaders in the art world. At the core of our mission, we aim to advance the leadership of women in the visual arts by expanding opportunities for women from diverse backgrounds and at all stages of their careers. It is with our mission in mind that we have outlined an action plan for ensuring that diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility remain at the center of our organization.
We invite you all to read our proposal for furthering the key ideas of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in our organization. We hope to gather feedback on the action plan at a series of Talk Backs which aim to gather community feedback and answer any questions you all may have. This first Talk Back will focus on the Leadership portions of the action plan. Future Talk Backs will focus on Membership and Programming.
In advance of the Talk Back, please submit your questions here to allow for adequate preparation.
If you are unable to attend or would like to provide anonymous feedback, you can do so on our DEIA Community Engagement form.

About the exhibition
Emma Amos: A Color Odyssey | Across her prolific career as a pioneering artist, educator, and activist, Emma Amos (American, 1937–2020) created boldly colorful and innovative works that explore the intersections of race and gender in American life. This exhibition surveys her body of work from the 1950s to the 2010s for the first time, spotlighting her inventive approach to printmaking, painting, and weaving as well as her signature practice of combining distinctive materials and artistic techniques. Amos’ works investigate identity and privilege while unsettling the lines between figuration and abstraction, craft and fine art, beauty and power.

About Randy Rosen
An independent curator, adviser, author, and an adjunct professor at New York University’s School of Professional Studies for over a decade, Randy joined ArtTable shortly after the organization’s founding. Since then, she’s actively contributed to its history and growth, organizing innovative programs and spearheading innumerable initiatives that have helped raise ArtTable’s voice and visibility in the art world.

Working with ArtTable founder Lila Harnett and founding member Carol Morgan, Randy helped launch and edit ArtWire, the organization’s first newsletter, and a “first” in connecting professional women leaders across the country to readily share art projects, explore job opportunities and raise awareness for critical developments in their fields. As an officer of the Board and a member of the Board’s Executive Committee, Randy advocated for strategic program planning and partnerships that would establish ArtTable as a “change-maker” organization elevating the status of professional women in the visual arts, but also as an outward-looking platform engaging with thought-leaders and ground-breaking artists bringing new ideas and issues to the art world discourse.

Twice Co-chair of the New York Chapter Communications Committee, Randy was tasked to become editor, teaming up with managing editor, Barbra Cavaliere, and designer, Renee Skuba, to produce Changing the Equation: Women’s Leadership in the Visual Arts, 1980-2005, for ArtTable’s 25th anniversary, a book that documented the organization’s pivotal role in advancing opportunities for professional women in the visual arts. Randy also served as Chair of the New York Chapter Programs Committee, and later as a long-time committee member, she continued to organize thought-provoking programs, among them ArtTable’s very first year-long series: The Digitization of The Art World, a series of panels, talks, seminars, and workshops partnering with The New Museum, Sony Wonder Lab, MoMA, Artsy, and The School of Visual Arts in examining the transformative impact of digitization and new media on the art world.

That penchant for innovative and intellectually stimulating programming became a hallmark of Randy Rosen Arts Associates (RRAA), the business she opened in the 1980s. In her more than 30 years as a specialist in developing art programming, corporate art collections, traveling museum exhibitions, and their associated educational agendas, she’s built a reputation for eschewing formulaic, boilerplate formats for approaches that extend the impact of the visual arts in the workplace and increase the representation of women and artists of color and diverse backgrounds.

Her experience includes working with large and smaller companies, among them Bristol Myers, Verizon, Sony, Telemundo, Maidenform, Rudin Management, Lakeview Capital, and for over 15 years as curator of the AlixPartners Global Art Program. She served as a member of Polaroid’s Cultural Advisory Task Force and as founding curator and manager of “On The Leading Edge: Cross-Currents in Contemporary Art,” the General Electric company’s original Art Program. With associate curator, Catherine Brawer, Randy curated, and RRAA organized, the landmark traveling museum exhibition, Making Their Mark: Women Artists Move into the Mainstream, 1970-1985. The show’s catalog included the first comprehensive, inter-generational research on institutional and art world barriers to the visibility and advancement of women artists.

Randy has collaborated on projects with institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Whitney Museum, The Philadelphia Academy of Fine Art, The Denver Art Museum, Houston’s Blaffer Gallery, The McNay Institute, San Antonio, and Boston’s Museum of The National Center of Afro-American Artists, and others. An author of several books on art, including Prints, a history of printmaking, and numerous articles, her forthcoming book, The Selective Eye: Seeing Beyond Beauty, will be released this spring. She’s currently working on a new exhibition and catalogue, In Process: Contemporary Photographers Rethinking Their Medium, opening in March, 2022.

Thank you to ArtTable New York Programs Committee Co-Chairs, Sarah McNaughton and Regan Lynn Larroque, and Membership Committee Co-Chair Edie Meyer for organizing this event.

Virtual | Listening to Native American Voices: Reimagining & Honoring a Diverse Heritage
2022-01-26 18:00 (America/New_York) | Zoom
3pm PT/ 4pm MT / 5pm CT / 6pm ET
In this 4th and final program in ArtTable’s Monuments and Memorials series, we shift our attention to those memorials that bear witness to Native American heritage, through their own voices. By exploring Native American memorials and sites, we will learn how they honor and preserve cultural memory in the United States. This series continues to ask: whose stories are we telling and who is telling them?

Join us for a discussion with artists Malynn Foster (Coast Salish of Squaxin Island) and Erin Genia (Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate), as well as attorney Shannon O’Loughlin (Citizen of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma). Foster and Genia will each speak about their artistic practice, as well as reimagine, re-contextualize, or otherwise address the general conversation around public monuments and memorials. O’Loughlin will bring our focus to some sites of memory that are sacred to Native Americans, sharing the need to protect and preserve them. The presentations and discussion will be followed by a Q&A session.

In the previous three programs in this series, we looked at “old stories and new narratives through other lenses” with Harriet Senie, Alison Saar and Marisa Williamson, with a special focus on creating sites of public memory, particularly for the disenfranchised, as so eloquently expressed by Judy Baca and her “Great Wall of Los Angeles.” The series included a fall walking tour in Harlem to view the sculptures honoring Duke Ellington, Harriet Tubman, and Frederick Douglass.

books. It has also entered collections of the Seattle Art Museum, Burke Museum, and Washington State History Museum. Additionally she has collaborated on a number of commissioned works in the Seattle area, with family members and friends. 2020 brought a significant new commission: Malynn is now collaborating with Tamela LaClair and Kimberly Deriana, as a team, known as the MTK Matriarchs.

They have been selected as the artists for the Salish Steps, part of the Seattle project re-imagining the city’s waterfront. Representing both local tribes and Urban Natives, they are working with the design team, developing a permanent artwork to elevate the importance of indigenous culture and history to this very public site. Malynn has received grants for her achievements in both art and for being an indigenous knowledge keeper.

Virtual | 'Making a Great Exhibition' - A New Children’s Book by Doro Globus, with Genevieve Martin
2022-01-13 12:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York) | Zoom
9am PT / 10am MT / 11am CT / 12pm ET
Please join Doro Globus, Managing Director of David Zwirner Books, and Genevieve Martin, Director of External Affairs and Advancement at the Children’s Museum of the Arts, for a discussion on the motivation behind Globus’ newly published children’s book, Making a Great Exhibition. Globus will also talk about the publishing program at David Zwirner. We will hear more about how the program works and why it is a crucial part of the gallery’s offerings.
In Making a Great Exhibition, Globus identified a need to demystify the museum space and offer insight into how it works. Thinking beyond the finished product–the exhibition or the artwork–Globus steps back to show how many people and skills are involved along the way. She features curators, art handlers, educators, photographers, shippers, museum visitors, and more as she describes the process. Both author and illustrator, Rose Blake, were raised in the art world, spending their time in studios, doing homework in museum offices, and going to special openings. They have teamed up to share their experiences and love for this world of creative people.
Parents are encouraged to bring their children to this program! All registrants will receive a link to a downloadable activity kit for kids.

Virtual | Reading at the (Art)Table - 'We Flew Over the Bridge: The Memoirs of Faith Ringgold'
2022-01-09 14:00 (America/New_York) | Zoom
11am PT / 12pm MT / 1pm CT / 2pm ET
Join us on Sunday, January 9 at 11am PT/2pm ET for our next Reading at the (Art)Table program, where we will be discussing “We Flew Over the Bridge: The Memoirs of Faith Ringgold.” We look forward to having a lively discussion!
In “We Flew over the Bridge,” one of the country’s preeminent African American artists—and award-winning children’s book authors—shares the fascinating story of her life. Faith Ringgold’s artworks—startling “story quilts,” politically charged paintings, and more—hang in the Studio Museum in Harlem, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, and other major museums around the world, as well as in the private collections of Maya Angelou and Oprah Winfrey (among others).
Her children’s books, including the Caldecott Honor Book “Tar Beach,” have sold hundreds of thousands of copies. But Ringgold’s path to success has not been easy. In this gorgeously illustrated memoir, she looks back and shares the story of her struggles, growth, and triumphs. Ringgold recollects how she had to surmount prejudices as she worked to refine her artistic vision and raise a family. At the same time, the story she tells is one of warm family memories, sustaining friendships, community involvement, and hope for the future.

Virtual | Preserving Cultural Heritage in Afghanistan & Beyond, with Laura Tedesco & Anna Bottinelli
2021-12-15 12:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Zoom
9am PT / 10am MT / 11am CT / 12pm ET
Afghanistan is currently facing an incredible crisis. Since the US left the country and Taliban forces reentered, many aspects of daily life have come into question, including how the country’s cultural heritage will be affected. Just two decades ago, when the Taliban were last in power, they called for the destruction of any and all pre-Islamic statues and sanctuaries on the land. While this new regime has promised to honor Afghanistan’s cultural heritage, history makes us skeptical.
One woman who has spent many years living and traveling throughout Afghanistan, overseeing the preservation of its archaeological sites, artifacts, monuments, and museums, is Laura Tedesco, Cultural Heritage Program Manager at the U.S. Department of State. As a cultural heritage and preservation specialist, Laura has experienced firsthand the challenges of preserving art and heritage amidst conflict, an experience she shares with Anna Bottinelli, President of the Monuments Men Foundation. Join us for a discussion about the preservation of cultural heritage in Afghanistan and beyond with these two leading experts!
Admission

ArtTable Circle members – Free
All other ArtTable members – $10
Non-Members – $15
Members may bring a guest for an additional $15.

Not a member? Join today for reduced admission on most programs!

About the speakers

Dr. Laura A. Tedesco serves as the Cultural Heritage Program Manager for the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs. Laura’s work is centered on supporting U.S. Embassies across the region in identifying and guiding cultural preservation projects supported by the Department of State. In 2021 there are more than 30 active projects that preserve intangible and built heritage of more than 12 nations. Now based in Washington, D.C. and Charleston, S.C., she previously worked in Afghanistan at the U.S. Embassy from 2010-2012 developing and overseeing the State Department’s large-scale initiatives to support the preservation of Afghanistan’s imperiled cultural patrimony. Prior to joining the Department of State, Laura worked at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City for 13 years. She has also worked in the private sector field of cultural resources management, managing archaeological recovery of cultural resources for land development and corporate investment programs. Tedesco has participated in archaeological excavations in Syria, Palestine, the Republics of Armenia and Georgia, Italy, Cyprus, and in several locations across the United States. She holds a PhD in Anthropology from New York University. Laura has a popular podcast that focuses on her personal story of the challenges she’s faced as a woman carrying out heritage preservation programs in Afghanistan. The title of the podcast is Monuments Woman.
Born and raised in Florence, Italy, Anna Bottinelli earned her B.A. in History of Art from John Cabot University (JCU) in Rome, graduating Magna Cum Laude. There, she was also the recipient of numerous accolades including the 2010 JCU Excellence in Art History Award and JCU Leadership Award. In 2011, she received her M.A. in Art History at The Courtauld Institute of Art in London. She specialized in the Franciscan and Dominican Art of 13th century Italy. At the same time, Ms. Bottinelli began work as the lead Italian research assistant to #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Robert Edsel on his project to write about the Monuments Men and their preservation work in Italy during World War II. Her work contributed greatly to the success of Mr. Edsel’s acclaimed bestseller, “Saving Italy: The Race to Save a Nation’s Treasure from the Nazi.”
In 2014, Ms. Bottinelli accepted a full time research position with the Monuments Men Foundation for the Preservation of Art, in Dallas, Texas. By 2017, she had advanced to senior leadership positions and in December 2019, she was appointed as the Foundation’s new President, succeeding its founder, Mr. Edsel . During her tenure at the Foundation, Ms. Bottinelli has overseen numerous restitutions of cultural objects to individuals and museums in Europe. She has also served as a consultant for “Hunting Nazi Treasure,” an eight-part investigative documentary that continues to air on Discovery’s American Heroes Channel, History Channel-Canada, and Canale Focus in Italy, with additional future broadcasts planned internationally.
Today Ms. Bottinelli is considered an expert on the subject of art looting and recovery during World War II. She regularly is a point of contact for provenance attorneys seeking expert opinions on art restitution cases involving Italy. Ms. Bottinelli has close ties with the art restitution unit of the Italian Carabinieri, who have been steadfast supporters of the Monuments Men Foundation and its mission. Anna Bottinelli is currently based in Dallas with her husband and two little boys. She divides her time between the U.S. and Italy.

About the exhibition
Packaged Black brings together the work of artists Derrick Adams (b. 1970, Baltimore, MD) and Barbara Earl Thomas (b. 1948, Seattle, WA) in a collaborative, multi-media installation developed from their shared dialogue about representation, Black identity, and practices of cultural resistance. This exhibition is a synthesis of a multi-year, intergenerational, and cross-country exchange between New York-based Adams and Seattle-based Thomas that began after the two artists exhibited work alongside each other in a group show at the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2017. For this exhibition, Thomas draws upon the role of media and fairytales in shaping social expectations and her own conception of self. She is presenting all new work, including an immersive installation conceived as a ‘transformation room’ and a series of new cut-paper portraits of friends and colleagues that riff on the concept of the royal court.

Thank you to ArtTable’s Northwest Chapter Leaders Jessica Landau, Judith Rinehart, and Gina Broze for organizing this program.

The gallery is located near the Metroline Orange: Ballston-MU.

About the Artists
Milan-based artists Sara Goldschmied (b.1975, Arzignano) and Eleonora Chiari (b.1971, Rome) have been working together as the artist-duo Goldschmied & Chiari since 2001. Sara and Eleonora met in the late 1990s through a shared interest in photography and feminism activism. Their shared interests soon led to joint art projects and a remarkable two-decade-long partnership. They have earned widespread respect and recognition, both in Italy and internationally, through their innovative use of photography, video, performance, and installations. Much of their work draws conceptually from philosophy, social studies, and their historical Italian background. Their dynamic of working as a duo fundamentally impacts their approach to every project. They state that their most essential tool “…is our relationship as an artist duo because it feeds our art practice, for example, so that we see multiple sides of one issue.” Magnifica was organized by International Arts & Artists in partnership with the Embassy of Italy and the Italian Cultural Institute in Washington, DC, in collaboration with Marymount University. This project is supported by the Directorate-General for Contemporary Creativity by the Italian Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism under the 2019 Italian Council Program.
About the Exhibition
This exhibition is a collaboration by many ArtTable Members of the DC chapter, all of whom will be in attendance. They are Allison Nance, Curator; Caitlin Berry, Cody Gallery Director; Maria Sancho-Arroyo, Catalog Essayist; Ruth Abrahams, Catalog Designer. Funds raised from this program will support the DC chapter locally, including our intern, who receives a stipend for her work coordinating chapter activities and communications. Your contribution makes a real impact on the growth and mentorship opportunities in our chapter, thank you!
In Magnifica, Goldschmied & Chiari bring together new work from their iconic Untitled Views series, stylized with billowing pink and purple shades of smoke reminiscent of abstract blooms, deconstructing the very notion of portraying an idea, a face, a sensation, an architectural space. Three vase sculptures in pink blown Murano glass debut in this exhibition; the anthropomorphic shapes of these Magnifica vases are sensual and dangerous, drawing inspiration from carnivorous pitcher plants in deep reds and purples, and from lipstick kisses in bold pinks. The artists worked with craftsmen from the Italian island of Murano to create these vases, a process which involved breathing and blowing, thus, a human mouth has created a mouth-like vase, which conceptually blows the colored smoke integral to their Untitled Views.

Thank you to Allison Nance and Caitlin Berry from ArtTable’s DC Chapter for organizing this program.

About the New Art Dealers Alliance
Founded in 2002, the New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) is a not-for-profit 501c6 collective of professionals working with contemporary art. Our mission is to create an open flow of information, support, and collaboration within our field and to develop a stronger sense of community among our constituency. We believe that the adversarial approach to exhibiting and selling art has run its course. We believe that change can be achieved through fostering constructive thought and dialogue between various points in the art industry from large galleries to small spaces, non-profit and commercial alike. Through support and encouragement, we facilitate strong and meaningful relationships between our members working with new contemporary and emerging art; while enhancing the public’s interaction with contemporary art.

Virtual | Artist Talk with Andrea Chung
2021-11-17 13:00 - 14:00 (America/New_York) | Zoom
10am PT / 11am MT / 12pm CT / 1pm ET
Please join us for a virtual artist talk with Andrea Chung, whose exhibition, We Was Girls Together, was recently presented at Tyler Park Presents in San Diego.
We Was Girls Together, inspired by Toni Morrison’s book Sula, is a series of large-scale collages that celebrates the relationships of black women in all their complexities and displays Chung’s gratitude for them. As Chung says, “Our sisterhood, our love for one another, is not always visible to the unfamiliar, nor should it always be.” Click here to read more about the exhibition.
Chung’s work has recently been featured in Prospect 4 (New Orleans) and the Jamaican Biennale (Kingston, Jamaica), as well as the Chinese American Museum and California African American Museum in Los Angeles, and the San Diego Art Institute. In 2017, her first solo museum exhibition took place at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, You broke the ocean in half to be here. She has participated in national and international residencies, including Headlands Center for the Arts and Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. Her work has been written about in the Artfile Magazine, Artnet, and Los Angeles Times, as well as a number of academic essays looking at the subject of colonialism and slavery in the Caribbean.
