Dana Women Artists Series joins with the international community to celebrate sixty years of India's independence with two Spring exhibitions in three gallery locations featuring contemporary women artists of South Asia and of the South Asian diaspora. The exhibitions are accompanied by a multi-media art performance event on Thursday, January 31, 2008, and an artist and curators' panel discussion on Thursday, March 6, 2008. All events have been organized under the auspices of the Mary H. Dana Women Artists Series, a joint program of Rutgers University Libraries and the Institute for Women and Art. The Dana Women Artists Series, now in its 36th year, is the oldest continuous operating venue for showing both established and emerging women artists. The public is invited, free of charge.
