"Empowered by Artistry"

The Sewall-Belmont House and Museum, located in Washington, DC, will host the opening reception of the "Project 3:  Empowered by Artistry" exhibit on June 18, 2008.  The exhibit features work from artists across the globe expressing the strength and power of women and is a collaboration of arts organizations dedicated to social justice issues, making a difference both locally and globally, through individual creativity and fine arts.

The Sewall-Belmont House and Museum is producing the exhibit in conjunction with Arts for Global Development, Authentic Art Consulting & The Thick Art Collaborative and the Girls Gotta Run Foundation.  The Sewall-Belmont House & Museum celebrates women's progress toward equality and explores the evolving role of women and their contributions to society.
