Join us at the Garrett Museum of Art, located at 100 S. Randolph Street in Garrett, on Friday, October 10, 2025 from 5:00PM – 8:00PM to celebrate the opening of our next exhibition, WOMEN TAKE THE WALLS 2025.
As always, the show is open to the public and all ages are welcome.
Admission is FREE.
The show runs from October 10, 2025 through December 21, 2025.
The 3rd annual WOMEN TAKE THE WALLS, will highlight 19 visionary artists who use an array of mediums that include painting with water, photography with mixed media, nature based sculptures, handmade jewelry, mythological bronze sculptures, contemporary paintings, painting on silk, hair sculpture, wire/paper sculptures, forest floor collages, mixed media art, sculpted oil paintings, and a hand-cut paper/painting installation.
Their works will reflect their inspirations and their reimagining of realities. Contemporary sculptures and paintings will hang from the ceiling and walls and are pioneered by contemporary women creators. View a series of photographs imprinted on various implements and objects. The sky’s the limit as visitors can take in handmade jewelry – each piece one-of-a-kind – unique bronze sculptures, and three foot tall branch weavings. A 2nd year return surprise of a hair sculpture made especially for this show by Migena Furxhi always amazes! Lisa Merida-Paytes returns with two female figures made of paper and wire, suspended from the ceiling to move with the air flow and enhance viewing.
Altogether, the innovative and unique works by all 19 artists will spark curiosity, encourage exploration, and will captivate viewers! Practices and perspectives will encourage visitors to take a slow look at this exhibit of women artists’ work. GMoA is excited to have area artists and artists from all over the US come together to celebrate creativity and artistic expression.
