There are many things on our website from valuable information for artists and collectors to links and images. On this page you will find all the things that don't fit into our main categories. In addition to various feedback and testimonials by artists, we have devided this section into three subsections:

• What's New with information on who got accepted into the most recent shows and jurors' statements

• Most Frequently Asked Questions and our answers to them. For example: Are all WMG shows juried? Is Membership necessary to submit work to a juried exhibition? etc....

Testimonials

"A professor from Edgewood College viewed my work at Woman Made Gallery in 2007. As a result, I received an honorarium to give a presentation to the Fine Arts department and an artist's workshop with her textiles class. It was a wonderful opportunity to exhibit my work to a new audience, and present my academic pursuits that had inspired the art." - Nitasha Deogun, Chicago, IL.

"In 2001, WMG awarded me a solo exhibition where I was able to show work that would not have been seen in a commercial gallery. This paved the way to show the same body of work in other not for profit galleries in the US and abroad, including Berlin's Anti-War Museum. I was able to exhibit and speak in places that gave school children and the general public access to the work. In a world where women artists are still marginalized (especially those making controversial art that is not geared towards a commercial audience), WMG is an enormously important venue, both for its artists and for the community of those seeking and supporting art by, about, and for women." -Maureen Burdock, Santa Fe, NM.

"Showing my work at the Woman Made Gallery has proved to be a powerful experience. Very few galleries provide the kinds of opportunities and support for female artists that Woman Made does, and I was elated when the gallery accepted two of my paintings for their "The Commercial Woman" exhibition in 2008. The career advantages of showing at Woman Made revealed themselves very quickly. Within a week of the show's opening a Chicago collector contacted me about viewing examples of my work, and soon after purchased two original paintings. Woman Made provided my collector both an introduction to my work and a seal of professional authenticity. Seeing my paintings at the gallery, she later told me, encouraged her to seek me out. Like many Chicagoans, she associates Woman Made artists with quality." - Danielle Durchslag, New York, NY.

"As an artist based in India, being a member of Woman Made Gallery has given me tremendous opportunities to connect with new audiences. Frequently, I receive feedback as a result of being a part of Woman Made’s Online Registry. St. Xavier University used an image of my work on the cover of a school publication because university staff located my work in the registry.

In February and March of 2008, I was thrilled to have a solo exhibition at Woman Made. This opportunity led me to meet many people in the Chicago area and form contacts for future exhibitions. For example, a faculty member from the University of Illinois-Chicago attended the opening reception and invited me to give a presentation to her class about my work. Furthermore, I was very pleased with the gallery’s exhibition space and staff who made me very comfortable in every which way.

I am proud of my long and rewarding relationship with Beate Minkovski, the gallery's Executive director who was extremely helpful with the realization of this solo show. She continues to be a major supporter of my work and artistic career. Above all she appreciates and understands the artist’s sensitivity. Amy Galpin, WMG's Gallery Coordintator helped me with getting connected to Chicago and in many other ways. I feel that I am part of the Woman Made family and I will cherish this feeling in times to come. I wish Woman Made much success and I look forward to continuing my involvement with the organization." -Shelly Jyoti, Baroda, India.
