About

Throughout the Summer of 2012, WMG teamed with twenty teaching artists to host found-object assemblage sculpture workshops for participating women, and in some cases youth, at each organization’s location, which will culminate in an exhibition and event series at the gallery.  20 Neighborhoods is organized by WMG Gallery Coordinator Ruby Thorkelson. 

Participating Artists:  Lindsay Obermeyer, Elaine Luther, Silvia Gonzalez, Lily Mayfield, Jeannette Perkal, Elaine Luther, Patricia Stewart, Victoria Martinez, Laura Elayne Miller, Karen Light, Veronica Stein, Juarez Hawkins, Stephanie Wernet, Olga Maria Marroquin, Sabba Elahi, Ruth Hodgins, Kristina Tendilla, Suellen Semekoski, Katherine Robinson, and Ramona Lindsey.
