Let Me Hear the Ladies

I was glad to see Cathy Madison’s “look back at a gritty underappreciated decade” of the Minneapolis art scene in the 80s. I’m pleased that she acknowledged that the “first-gallery bragging rights went to the Women’s Art Registry of Minnesota,” WARM Gallery, as it was then known. I was disappointed that the rest of the article didn’t mention any of the women artists who were very visible and active during that time. I would like to invite Cathy Madison to see what was happening at WARM in that lively decade by going to see the current exhibition at the Weisman Art Museum—WARM: 12 Artists of the Women’s Art Registry of Minnesota. [Editor’s note: the exhibition runs through September 17.]
