Executive Advisor

The WMG Executive Advisor is renowned artist Judy Chicago. Judy joined our gallery in 1997 and visits WMG annually to meet with its board and staff members, and to help with the development of the Gallery. The picture to the right shows Judy at her last visit to Woman Made Gallery, listening to our progress report and giving valuable advice for our future development. The picture below shows Judy surrounded by Woman Made Staff after the board meeting. Intern Meg Coleman took all digital images.
