 REVIVAL, an exhibition of contemporary sculpture, photography and video by women artists, will be on view at the National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA) June 23-September 10, 2017. 

"Exploring how arresting aesthetics and intense subject matter can spur the viewer into a transcendent encounter with a work of art, the exhibition focuses on 16 artists, including Louise Bourgeois, Sonya Clark, Petah Coyne, Lalla Essaydi, Maria Marshall, Alison Saar, Beverly Semmes, Joana Vasconcelos, and Bettina von Zwehl. REVIVAL launches the exhibition schedule celebrating the museum's 30th-anniversary year."


There will be a gallery talk at midday on June 28th, 2017. Admission is free.

Located in Washington, D.C., The National Museum of Women in the Arts is the only museum in the world dedicated exclusively to recognizing the achievements of women artists.
