Portray Art Show will run through April 15

The Portray Art Show opened at the Gettysburg Majestic Theater Gallery last night.

Portray features sixteen female artists from across the Eastern United States with works inspired by or paying homage to other women – both as artist and muse.

The artists interpreted the open call in vastly different ways and with wide range of artistic mediums representing multi-generational viewpoints.

Inspirations range from Maud Wagner, the pioneering female tattoo artist, to Georgia O’Keefe, even the pop star, Chappell Roan.

Through prints, paint, and mixed-media works, the exhibit subverts an objectifying male gaze and presents a myriad of female gazes. Each piece bares the soul of the woman who created it, an echo of the woman before her. 

Portray is as much about the inspiration as the inspired.

The exhibit is open daily January 31-April 15 during Majestic Theater Box Office hours. Admission is free.
