PCA Presents: Women In the Arts

In June 2010, Piedmont Council for the Arts held an exhibition at McGuffey Art Center entitled PCA Presents: Women in the Arts, featuring images of women in the arts in our community taken by local women photographers.

With the support of Payne, Ross & Associates, PCA produced a beautiful little book of images from the exhibition. On its pages are color and black & white portraits of local women including arts educators and students, gallery owners, theater managers, poets, museum curators, nonprofit arts professionals, and artists of various media, from dancers to painters and beyond.

Their pictures were taken by 12 Charlottesville-area photographers: Lynne Brubaker, Stacey Evans, Jen Fariello, Ashley Florence, Stephanie Gross, Peggy Harrison, Barrie Humphries, Mary Motley Kalergis, Susan Kalergis, Ashley Twiggs, Sarah Cramer Shields, and Rachel Zahumensky.
