Willful Women: A Tribute to the Artist While much has changed over the centuries of women creating art, today there are still disturbing trends. Male artists are more likely to have representation in commercial galleries, achieve higher prices in the art market, and are more likely to be written about by critics and art historians. The difference in price for women’s art is not insignificant. In a 2018 interview on NPR Renee Adams, a social science researcher of this phenomenon, claimed that female artists sell at a discount of 42.1 percent. She and colleagues conducted research showing computer-generated, genderless pieces of art to buyers. They told the buyers that the paintings were by males or females. Her findings: affluent people who visit art galleries, especially men, rate art as less compelling when it is said to be painted by a woman. The disparity between genders is historic, and while progress has been made, there is still work to be done. Nonetheless, against these odds, many women have succeeded, pushed boundaries, beaten the odds, defied convention, and exerted their will. THE CALL: For this exhibit, we want to pay tribute to women artists who defied convention and overcame obstacles to become respected and successful in this male-dominated arena. We have selected 22 impactful artists (see list below) and we invite you to take inspiration from their work. We ask you to create a piece that pays tribute to one of the artists. The tribute can be in relation to their subject matter or to their style. We have provided one sample for each artist; however, feel free to explore their other works. Any medium is welcome. When we exhibit your piece, we will want a copy of the piece that inspired you to include as a reference point for viewers. A judge will award first and second prizes, and there will be a People’s Choice award as well. The winners will be announced at the opening on July 9. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS By June 15, email a digital image of your submission to Roxanne Cullen (cullenr@ferris.edu). Please include the name of the artist to whom you pay homage and, if possible, a photo of or link to a work of hers that inspired you. Include any special needs regarding installation of your piece. If you have questions, please contact Roxanne.

I have the privilege to instruct our Special Needs Adults on a bi-monthly basis. My journey through art began as a young girl back in Valparaiso, Indiana. Art and band were always favorite parts of my day. I started my higher education with a focus on serving the special needs population. The university I attended didn't have that focus and I ended up switching my Elementary Ed major to Home Economics. After graduation I ended up working at Spring Hill Camp in Evart, MI for the summer which sparked my interest in Outdoor Education and Wilderness Education. After working two years in the retail clothing industry, I returned to camp for one year then headed to Western Illinois to secure my Masters in Recreation and Parks Administration. I completed a Wilderness Education Association program and returned to camp for the next 18 years. My Master's education and leadership roles at camp broadened my life experience. Upon leaving camp, I took the Education Directorship at Artworks for almost 4 years. During my tenure as Director, I was frustrated because I didn't have time to teach. I love learning about the process artists have employed to achieve their art. I left my position because of health issues and after recovery was able to rejoin the Artworks family in a teaching role. Our Hope Network friends are a delight to serve as well as the Summer Campers, another joy in my life! I'm grateful for the opportunity to serve our community through the mission of Artworks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c326caacef3725fb52827a7/79c04ada-181f-4ff0-bb3f-d554622787fe/Randall%252CNancy.jpg Hope Network & MOISD - nancy randall My name is Nancy Fenstermacher Randall. l was born and raised on a farm just outside of Big Rapids. I married, moved to Pretty Lake, raised two girls, and had beauty salon for 30 years. When the youngest daughter went to college, I took up basket weaving to fill my extra time. I also joined a basket guild in Mt Pleasant and met Jeannette Fleury. We team teach once a month at Artworks. For the past four years I have worked [at Artworks] with Ruth Vermeer and the Hope Network artists. I have loved it from the first day. They each are SPECIAL people and we have a chance to work with many different mediums – chalk, paints, and pottery. https://www.artworksinbigrapids.org/sheri-strpko daily 0.75 2023-01-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c326caacef3725fb52827a7/ed22dbbb-4b76-4085-a9e6-e8236a8f4317/Sheri+GNP+Highline+Trail.jpeg Sheri Strpko https://www.artworksinbigrapids.org/kolina-mako daily 0.75 2023-02-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c326caacef3725fb52827a7/a44240cc-561b-480e-bc26-31cff5295bea/image_50429953.JPG Kolina Mako https://www.artworksinbigrapids.org/artist-in-residence daily 0.75 2025-02-05 https://www.artworksinbigrapids.org/george-melby-1 daily 0.75 2023-04-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c326caacef3725fb52827a7/3290ba53-4a6f-49fe-9c26-bf14ff51546b/IMG_4969.jpg George Melby https://www.artworksinbigrapids.org/public-event-disclaimer daily 0.75 2023-04-17 https://www.artworksinbigrapids.org/accessibility daily 0.75 2024-03-30 https://www.artworksinbigrapids.org/kenetha-griffith daily 0.75 2024-02-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c326caacef3725fb52827a7/e023a618-4300-48ec-9f8a-5c2e9bd55507/IMG_0912.jpg Kenetha Griffith https://www.artworksinbigrapids.org/vicki-swarthout daily 0.75 2024-02-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c326caacef3725fb52827a7/519a0167-eb23-4340-b558-f2db1abdffc4/20240209_045336.jpg Vicki Swarthout https://www.artworksinbigrapids.org/tim-lampe daily 0.75 2024-02-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c326caacef3725fb52827a7/c62c1a99-fff0-4a27-b182-b009ab4f8a65/20220624_182924.jpg Tim Lampe https://www.artworksinbigrapids.org/jo-hoersten daily 0.75 2024-02-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c326caacef3725fb52827a7/13b3e0b3-1c9c-4389-997c-0721778cda9c/20220516_114639.jpg Jo Hoersten https://www.artworksinbigrapids.org/nancy-daniel daily 0.75 2024-02-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c326caacef3725fb52827a7/681b9d78-53ee-455b-92c1-a3244ee9c6b0/image_2.jpg Nancy Daniel https://www.artworksinbigrapids.org/cora-foley daily 0.75 2024-03-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c326caacef3725fb52827a7/5a7f7f63-c229-4f1b-9708-093dae3b9dbb/Cora.jpg Cora Foley https://www.artworksinbigrapids.org/team-artworks daily 0.75 2026-02-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c326caacef3725fb52827a7/00a7b530-13ec-4f65-a578-769f6cd03636/Wright%2C+Stacie.jpg Team Artworks STACIE WRIGHT DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS Stacie has been with Artworks since 2018 when she was hired as the gift shop manager.
