Muses no more

This female-led program celebrates innovative artists across creative fields including choreography, music, design, and visual art. ChoreograpHERs will create original works that express their voices and visions as female artmakers. The program will also feature conceptual art by writer, researcher, and artist Emma McCormick-Goodhart.
