This event has ended.
This Is Who We Are is Pen + Brush’s first exhibition of 2021.
This Is Who We Are showcases, loudly and proudly, a selection of the women and non-binary artists who make up Pen + Brush. Featured here are impactful works, so ingrained in a larger cultural dialogue that to deny them recognition is to perpetuate a corrupt and incomplete canon of the history of art. It is our belief that only when work by women is judged solely on its merit and not the gender of its maker can we accurately reflect our world.
It also marks a new exhibition model, one that merges museum quality installation and treatment with the more flexible, sales-based model of an art fair. The onset of COVID-19 derailed exhibition and recognition-based opportunities for artists around the world; from shipping nightmares, exhibition cancellations, to lack of funds or access to materials, many artists’ livelihoods have come to a standstill. This Is Who We Are is Pen + Brush’s endeavor to encourage sales and boost visibility for our artists by eliminating some of the restraints that often accompany gallery exhibitions, such as timing. Works featured will rotate and change based upon opportunities artists may have and, of course, sales.
