Movie Night – Nightbitch Screening

We were recently honored with a thoughtful review in the Chicago Reader by Deanna Isaacs, who highlighted Woman Made Gallery as a vital space for art, feminism, and community. In her piece, she referenced Nightbitch—a darkly surreal exploration of motherhood, identity, and transformation. Her words resonated so deeply with us that we felt compelled to bring the film to our space! (Click to read the article)

Wednesday, August 14, 2024 | 6-7 PM

Join art history buff and WMG Marketing & Development Coordinator, Veronica Clements as she gives a presentation on women throughout history who were overlooked because of the men in their life. From downright stealing ideas and works of art to silencing and diminishing their acclaim, the men in these women’s lives did everything possible to tarnish their artistry. ‘The Better Half’ will highlight these women and shed light on their influence in hopes that we may never overlook them again.

This presentation is free to WMG members. Members will receive email with a discount code. This presentation is open to non-members for $10. This presentation will be recorded and available for viewing after the event.
