We are still working...

We are still relevant...

Welcome to our celebration of Women's History Month. We are a group of mature working artists who combine our efforts and talents to expand our creativity and create art for exhibition and sale. We use our proceeds to fund a variety of social justice causes, both local and global. With an average age of 73, one of our biggest accomplishments was raising $25,000 to put a roof on a community center in Ghana. We have also funded a spay neuter clinic for Madison County animals, contributed funds to the local food bank, sponsored a student by procuring pottery tools to help her become a sustainable artist, and made numerous Little Library Quilts. 

If you wish to purchase the art for sale or make a donation you can message and follow us on Facebook at feministartisifky. 

Thank you for coming and hope you enjoy our exhibit. 

Please note: the library does not handle any transactions or sales related to the exhibit. You would need to contact the artists directly.
