Throughout history, women’s contributions to the arts have often been unnamed, overlooked, relegated, and even appropriated. Yet there’s no denying the invaluable significance of their talents and insights not only to the creative fields, but to society as a whole. They’ve left their marks on our hearts and minds, engaging us to reflect on the world near and far in new ways.
In this special section, we celebrate contemporary women artists from across the United States. Their unique works, founded in a variety of media and genres, propel the arts—and us—ever forward.
