The year 2020 marks 100 years of Women’s Right to Vote in the United States. The American suffragette story, while ultimately successful, is not without failures and criticism. Now, 100 years later, we are experiencing a marked awareness of and spread towards social equality and related issues across genders, ethnicity, beliefs and preferences. Women Eco Artists Dialog (WEAD) is a strong example of women creatives coming together to share and provide opportunities for female identified artists working with ecological and social justice content. In this regard we are holding our Feat to the Fire. That is, we are employing art as a means to fulfill the promise of having our voices count. 

Exhibition juror, Jan Rindfleisch has focused on community building as an artist, educator, curator and author. From 1978 to 1985, she taught art and art history at De Anza College, and in 1979 began a 32 year journey as executive director/curator of The Euphrat Museum of Art in Cupertino, California. She is the author of Roots and Offshoots: Silicon Valley’s Arts Community, 2017; and co-author of Creative Power: The Art and Activism of Ruth Tunstall Grant, 2019. Both books are published by Ginger Press.
