Ladies Auxiliary @ Durham Art Guild

October 15th to December 1st, 2025-Receptions: Oct. 17th & Nov. 21st

This exhibition is a celebration and showcase of the talents of women artists from our community and beyond. At its core, this project is committed to promoting feminist voices, advocating for gender equality, and actively overturning old narratives that often minimize or overlook women's contributions.

This exhibition was sparked by a single, unexpected photograph: a distant relative in her World War I medic’s uniform. That sepia-toned image became a call to action, a poignant reminder of the countless women whose stories remain unheard and whose contributions are overlooked. Ladies Auxiliary amplifies these voices, honoring the creativity, vision, and enduring strength of women across time.

This exhibition honors the indispensable roles of women as the very foundations of society. Featuring diverse artists—from woodworkers to painters and sculptors—it celebrates women as independent, complete human beings. The work highlights unique perspectives on feminism, gender, and the rich tapestry of shared experiences.

We are committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and empowering space where women’s voices thrive in unwavering solidarity. We embrace art as a potent tool for liberation, resistance, and self-discovery.

Ultimately, this exhibition is an opportunity to amplify these voices, ignite dialogue, and cultivate a stronger, more equitable future through the transformative power of art.
