Organized with the American Federation of Arts (AFA), this program celebrates Abstract Expressionists: The Women (2025–2027), a nationwide exhibition highlighting nearly fifty works by thirty-two groundbreaking women painters. The event honors the enduring influence of women who shaped American abstraction.

The roundtable features Christine Berry, Co-Founder, Berry Campbell Gallery; Jaime DeSimone, Chief Curator, Farnsworth Museum of Art; and A’Driane Nieves, Philadelphia-based artist; and is moderated by Aliza Rachel Edelman, Ph.D., Co-Chief Editor, Woman’s Art Journal. Together, they will explore women’s impact on American abstraction and the ongoing role of gender in the art world.
