DIVERSITY

A selection of works by the Women Photographers Collective of the Hudson Valley

 
September 2 - October 15, 2023
 
Artist Reception: Saturday, September 2, 5-7PM
 

On Saturday, September 2, a reception from 5-7PM at Wired Gallery will open “DIVERSITY," an exhibition featuring a selection of works by the members of The Women Photographers Collective of the Hudson Valley.

The exhibition, curated by Wired Gallery owner Sevan Melikyan, will be up September 2-24.

Wired Gallery is located at 11 Mohonk Road in High Falls. Hours are Saturday and Sunday 11-4.

“DIVERSITY” will include the work of: Gail Albert, Joan Barker, Ana Bergen, Karen Davis, Nancy Donskoj, Jill Enfield, Lori Grinker, Maria Fernanda Hubeaut, Susan Keiser, Kay Kenny, Dorothea Marcus, Dana Matthews, Susan Phillips, Carla Schapiro, and Ruth Wetzel.

“DIVERSITY" aims at introducing this relatively new group of women photographers to the general public, through a selection of works free of any thread to tie them. I made my selections thinking what best this group has to offer and why it deserves everyone’s attention. The Collective gathers powerful voices, whose members express themselves at times in radically different styles, and that’s exactly what this show aims to capture,” says Sevan Melikyan, curator of the show.

"It's fascinating to observe the synergy of a diverse group of artists, who range from street photographers, to alternative process practitioners, and abstract image makers. Professors, journalists and fine artists all enjoy the camaraderie and professional support," commented Kay Kenny, group facilitator.

WOMEN PHOTOGRAPHERS COLLECTIVE OF THE HUDSON VALLEY

Women Photographers Collective of the mid- Hudson Valley is a membership organization which promotes community building, networking, mentorship, and opportunities for presenting and exhibiting work. Our women-identified members range from documentary to fine art photographers, from established professionals to newly emerging artists. The growing Women Photographers Collective was formed in early 2020 as a way for Hudson Valley women photographers to network and support each other in their creative work, especially to counteract the isolation and disconnectedness of the pandemic. Artist-Writer-Teacher Kay Kenny, whose studio is in Saugerties NY, initiated the group and is its primary facilitator.
