How does a woman navigate life in a man's world? What do you think of when you hear the term "strong woman?" The Newark School of the Arts (NSA) will provide female artists the chance to answer these questions by showcasing their talents in its second-annual “STRONG WOMEN” exhibit.
The exhibit, planned in celebration of Women’s History Month, will feature the creative endeavors of women in a variety of media including painting, drawing, photography and sculpture.

“As a premier provider of arts education for northern New Jersey, it is crucial that the Newark School of the Arts support and nurture the work of powerful and vibrant women artists in Newark and throughout the arts community,” said NSA Executive Director Dara Falco.
The exhibit will be featured at NSA from March 21 – April 21 and is free and open to the public. NSA offers free, on-site parking and is wheelchair accessible. Most works in the STRONG WOMEN exhibition will be for sale. A percentage of sales will go to support NSA's art programs.
