Join us for an artist talk in conjunction with Georgia Women to Watch 2026: A Book Arts Revolution, an exhibition celebrating the book as an artistic medium and featuring five innovative Georgia artists who are redefining what books can be.
This artist talk highlights the practices of the featured artists, whose work engages the rich history of bookmaking while exploring its vast structural, conceptual, and political possibilities. The Women to Watch exhibition series is a collaboration between Washington, D.C.’s National Museum of Women in the Arts and the Georgia Committee of NMWA.
Featured Artists: Eliza Bentz (Savannah, GA) Hannah Israel (Columbus, GA) Cynthia Lollis (Decatur, GA) Serena Perrone (Atlanta, GA) Eileen Wallace (Athens, GA)
Curator: Cynthia Thompson
These artists were selected for demonstrating excellence in the book arts, incorporating diverse materials and formats that rethink the nature of books in unexpected ways.
Join us for a family-friendly art workshop as part of the Contemporary Kids program, where kids of all ages can explore their creativity and engage with the themes of contemporary art!
During this workshop, artist Makiko Maekawa will guide young artists in creating their own contemporary art projects. Using a variety of materials like paint, paper, and objects, participants will explore how to express themselves through art.
