Current Exhibition: Please visit http://www.njn.net/artsculture/showcase/ where the State of the Arts has posted a story from 1998 featuring renowned artist Faith Ringgold and her exhibition The French Collection at The New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York. There will be an exhibition catalog and more press available shortly. The Institute is thrilled to announce that in conjunction with the opening of Faith Ringgold's retrospective at the Mason Gross Galleries, "Declaration of Independence: 50 Years of Art by Faith Ringgold," we are selling playing card decks custom-designed by Faith Ringgold while supplies last. Ringgold spent months creating a beautiful and truly one-of-a-kind full color custom face poker deck of playing cards, 3.5 x 2.5 inches, in full color boxes. The card set titled Yes I Can (2009) vibrantly captures elements of the American cultural and political landscape--both currently and historically. Yes I Can is published by the Institute for Women and Art, Rutgers, New Brunswick, NJ. Printing is provided by Ad Magic, Netcong, NJ. Please visit Ad Magic Online Custom Playing Cards to learn more about their wide-range of services. Do not miss your opportunity to own a piece created by a true national treasure, Faith Ringgold! |

The vision of the Rutgers Institute for Women and Art is to transform values,
policies, and institutions, and to insure that the intellectual and aesthetic
contributions of diverse communities of women in the visual arts are included in
the cultural mainstream and acknowledged in the historical record.
The mission of the Rutgers Institute for Women and Art is to invent, implement,
and conduct live and virtual education, research, documentation, public programs,
and exhibitions focused on women artists and feminist art. The IWA strives to
establish equality and visibility for all women artists, who are underrepresented
and unrecognized in art history, the art market, and the contemporary art world,
and to address their professional development needs. The IWA endeavors to serve
all women in the visual arts and diverse global, national, regional, state, and
university audiences.
Founded in 2006, the Institute for Women & Art is actively engaged in:
- Exhibitions and public programming organized by the award-winning and nationally recognized Mary H. Dana Women Artists Series, founded in 1971 by Joan Snyder, and other sponsored events through the US and abroad.
http://www.libraries.rutgers.edu/rul/exhibits/dana_womens.shtml - Educational and curricular development led by The Feminist Art Project (TFAP) website and the soon-to-be launched FARE: Feminist Art Resources in Education for K-12, college students and their teachers.
