New at Mia: Contemporary Works on Paper by Women Artists
April 6, 2024 - October 13, 2024
Gallery 353
Free Exhibition
This exhibition showcases a selection of watercolors, drawings, and original prints recently added to Mia’s permanent collection. Ranging in date from 1975 to 2023, all are the work of women artists—some celebrated, others less widely known. Collectively, the selection reflects the museum’s ongoing efforts to reexamine and reset its collecting strategies to better reflect the remarkable diversity of artistic achievement in the United States and elsewhere. By championing the work of artists underrepresented in its collections, Mia strengthens its commitment to enriching the community by collecting, preserving, and displaying outstanding works of art.
