Special Projects

   Feminist Art Coalition

   Working collectively, various art museums and nonprofit institutions from across the United States the Feminist Art Coalition will present a series of concurrent events—including commissions, exhibitions, performances, talks, and symposia—over the course of three months (September–November) in the fall of 2020, during the run-up to the next presidential election. This strategic endeavor takes feminist thought and practice as its point of departure and considers art as a catalyst for discourse and civic engagement. The List Center is pleased to participate in this critically important initiative by presenting an exhibition featuring the work of Dorothy Iannone in October 2020.
