Hello Sunshine, Reese Witherspoon’s multi-media company, is collaborating with Now Be Here Art for an exciting new social media series in 2021. Once-a-month beginning in February, Hello Sunshine will spotlight one randomly selected artist from the Now Be Here directory on their Hello Sunshine Instagram channel, highlighting the artist’s work and driving their highly engaged audience to the artist’s page on the Now Be Here Art website.
The Guest Curator Initiative seeks to enhance the connection with artists featured in our directory through a thoughtful engagement with the themes, processes and contexts that inspire and inform their artwork. The program invites curators and scholars to discuss relevant aspects of an artist’s practice through a recorded, live or written conversation, article, or interview.
Now Let’s Talk is a dynamic schedule of talks, lectures, and discussions that will bring museums and organizations across the DC, Maryland, and Virginia regions together to highlight female artists and discuss issues related to women in the arts. Visit each venue’s website for more information. The programing occurred on October 18- 29, 2017, and had 18 events, lectures, artist talks and exhibition walkthroughs. Thank you to all who supported, participated, and attended!
Wed., Oct. 25, 2017, 6:30-9:30 P.M.

Featuring major works by artists Ja’Tovia Gary, Delphine Fawundu, and Dana Birnbaum, the Hirshhorn will host a day-long screening of video and film by feminist artists and filmmakers, from the 1970s to today. Part of a partnership with the National Museum for Women in the Arts, in conjunction with the Now Be Here project, Count/Recount celebrates women video artists who use narrative to complicate and deepen our understanding of representation, highlighting works by artists of varying generations and cultures who depict scenarios and ideas through the lens of feminism. The videos included were selected by Carmen Hermo, assistant curator, Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art at the Brooklyn Museum.

How we use your information:
I have been asked repeatedly to share the lists that have been compiled. Much to their annoyance, I do not share the Now Be Here e-mail lists.
