“We wanted this to be a show all about the artists and not so much about the fact that they're at the center, just the fact that they are who they are, and they can do these amazing things,” McGrath said. The Ali Center kept their statement about the exhibit short to allow for artists to have more space for their artistic statements. “They were able to paint walls if they wanted to, they were able to tell us exactly how they wanted things installed, what they wanted us to install, to install it,” said Amelia McGrath, a collections and exhibits associate at the Ali Center.
The seven local, women artists featured in the exhibit were allowed to choose how and where in the gallery space their work was placed. “And the only way to do that is to let people be their authentic selves and to invite them into the space.” “We wanted to focus on hidden perspectives, things that weren't and aren't often heard or seen or known,” said Bess Goldy, senior manager of curation and interpretation at the Ali Center.
