Women have played a significant role in African art.

They are highly respected and adorned in many fashions throughout several societies. Essentially, the woman's role is not only that of a care-taker, but extends to other forms.

In art, the African woman has been portrayed several ways: procreator, goddess, mother, ancestor, and sage.

Because women have played such a significant role in African art, this exhibit will focus on women in African art: family, life, and beyond.
