July 2018- Feed the Adjunct
August 2016- Votes for Women, Dayton, OH
An exhibition of art by girls & women celebrating the 19th Amendment and its passing 96 years ago on August 18th, 1920. The 19th Amendment was long fought for by the American suffragists, this amendment finally granted women the right to vote. This exhibition lies on the eve of the 2016 presidential election where the rights of women are in the balance. Likewise, this election marks the first ever woman presidential candidate to represent a major political party. Still without equal pay for equal work we recognize women rights are human rights and remember how far we have come.

Location: Kelsey Projects @ Dutoit Gallery, Front Street Warehouse, 1001 E 2nd St, Building 100, Door BC, Fl 3rd, Dayton, OH 45402
