Xx Chromosome

Art Opening at Blue Gallery

With special thanks to Tuesday Schmidt.

Published: Wednesday, June 30, 2010

The second annual Xx Chromosome features new work by some of Kansas City's most talented female artists. Practicing a diversity of mediums, this year's artist include: Shannon Gaines Bowman, Tuesday Schmidt, Jane Almirall, Jennifer Walker, Jes Owings, Kelley Seda, Alison Atwood, Melinda Wallace, and Sandi Devenny. The July 2,2010, First Friday Opening is at Blue Gallery, 118 Southwest Boulevard.

The organizational purpose of Xx Chromosome is to create a community of female artists in which talent is nurtured both to and from established and emerging artists. Pushing past vulnerabilities and insecurities, the goal of this collaboration is to utilize community support so that talent does not go unseen simply because advocacy was absent. Emerging artists gain confidence from experienced artists; experienced artists discover themselves anew through the eyes of emerging artists. As a result of assembling a range of experience and an array of execution comes the gestalt of brilliantly uncommon beauty from those who share this very common set of chromosomes.
