Shari Brownfield Fine Art, 55 S. Glenwood St.
Join Womentum and Shari Brownfield Fine Art in celebrating women in the arts!
Currently, 85% of museum collections are comprised of male artists, and men dominate the global art market, capturing 97% of the $65 billion dollar industry. These statistics are especially surprising, given that more than half of MFA graduates today are women.
A new exhibition titled “No Man’s Land” assembles a collection of over 20 influential and emerging female artists from the 1950s to today. The artists range from pioneering abstract expressionists Helen Frankenthaler and Mary Abbott to local encaustic painter Pamela Gibson and Lyndsay Rowan McCandless’ adorned bison skulls.
The exhibition also reflects the deep personal values of Shari Brownfield Fine Art’s team of supporting and empowering women at all levels of the local community. After serving six years on the board of Jackson Hole’s Community Safety Network, a refuge for people affected by domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking, Brownfield has stepped into the role as Board Chair this month. Elisabeth Rohrbach, Director of Operations at Shari Brownfield Fine Art, has served on the Womentum Board of Directors since 2018, and recently concluded two years as Board Chair.
