52 Women Pulling At The Threads of Social Discourse & A Guest: The Epistle
October 16, 2026 through December 19, 2026
website
The Contemporary Art Modern Project announces its 8th Edition of Women Pulling at The Threads of Social Discourse and Guest: The Epistle. 250 years ago America fought and won its independence from Great Britain showing that American grit goes a long way. We have heroes ranging from George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and anti-heroes like Benedict Arnold - all are taught and known. What is less known is the women who also fought in this war, the women who supported and protected their homes, the women who wrote to one another. This edition looks at the historical voices of women, through the exhibiting artists' contemporary interpretations, as they stitch together letters and portraits of support, vision and life to each other, and to the viewer. The exhibition opens October 16th at 6pm in our North Miami Gallery with an artist and collector preview as we celebrate our eighth edition and American Independence. Join us October 17th, as we welcome cultural writer, critic, Art Historian and Theologian Olga Garcia-Mayora in the first of many gallery conversations about the exhibition and the voices behind the works, and inspiration.
