National Conference Multicultural Artist Panel moderated by Betty Ann Brown and Linda Vallejo
Ave 50 Studio
Highland Park, CA
February 11—March 4, 2012
The two‐hour panel will be presented in a format designed by Suzanne Lacy that stimulates intimate dialogue between the panelists and engages the audience in a focused and exciting dialogue. Panel topics will include “Woman, Artist, and Activism,” and “Community Engagement and Professionalism.” No two women artists follow the same path through an art career. These remarkable artists have found unique ways to break through the layers of obstacles before them in order to create work that is both meaningful to them and to the communities in which they live. Their successes have made them a part of the global dialogue that has opened doors for them and for others that follow.
Moderator: Linda Vallejo.
Panelists: Margaret Alarcon, Nao Bustamante, Kathy Gallegos, Suzanne Jackson, Felicia Montes, Amitis Motevalli, Noni Olabisi, Patricia Rodriguez, Nancy Uyemura, Diana Shui‐iu Wong, and Seeroon Yeretzian
Artists included: Margaret ‘Quica” Alarcon, Nao Bustamante, Kathy Mas-Gallegos, Suzanne Jackson, Felicia “Fe” Montes, Amitis Motevelli, Noni Olabisi, Patricia Rodriguez, Linda Vallejo, Diana Wong, Seeroon Yeretzian, and Nancy Uyemura.

National Juried Exhibition, presented by the Women’s Caucus for Art, 40th Anniversary Exhibition at Los Angeles Art Association, Gallery 825 from February 17 to March 2 by Rita Gonzalez, Associate Curator Contemporary Art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art as juror. Momentum presents the art and ideas of contemporary women artists. Artists were invited to explore the idea of Momentum, in an array of media, with the theme broadly interpreted from an activist, political or personal context; to reflect on struggles and accomplishments and to portray how this inspires their work and momentum in moving ahead. Rita Gonzalez chose 97 women artists for Momentum with 52 works in Gallery 825 and an additional 56 featured in the catalog.
