The Connecticut Women Artists Forum, "Positive Power," will take place on Sunday, Nov. 5, 2-4 p.m. in the McNeil Lecture Hall of the Yale University Art Gallery.
This is the second in a series of four forums being held at museums throughout Connecticut. It is sponsored by the Yale Art Gallery, the Women's and Gender Studies Program and the Connecticut chapter of the Women's Caucus for Art.
The event will feature a talk by Arlene Raven, who has published seven books on contemporary art and written criticism for a variety of newspapers, art magazines and journals. She is also a founder of the Women's Caucus for Art, The Los Angeles Woman's Building and Chrysalis Magazine.
There will also be a panel discussion featuring the following artists:
* Imna Arroyo, a professor of art at Eastern Connecticut State University, a painter/printmaker who works with clay. Her work focuses on issues of identity and her African, Caribbean, and Taino heritage.
* Suzanne Benton, the artistic and managing director of Positive Power, a metal and mixed media sculptor, mask-maker, performance artist and printmaker. Her work draws upon multi-cultural themes.
* Ann Chernow, whose work is based on specific scenes and impressions related to movies from the 1930s and 1940s, which she uses as points of departure for the reinterpretation of images in time.
* Camille Eskell, the panel's moderator, who is an American artist with a strong cultural heritage from the Middle East and India. Her mixed media works address the psychological conflicts shaped by Old World attitudes and contemporary perspectives, particularly with regard to women's place and identity.
The forum is open to the public free of charge.
