“Womenkind: Vision and Voice,” an exhibition of works by five artists, is on display through Tuesday, April 27, at the David A. Portlock Black Cultural Center, 101 McCartney St.
The exhibition features works by Davita Crawford ’05, a double major in art and biology from West Orange, N.J., photography; Salma Arastu, semi-abstract figurative painting; Nancy Bossert, figurative painting; Heather Sincavage, social sculpture; and Teressa Valla, sculpture and painting reflecting nature.
Crawford recently displayed her color and black-and-white photographs in the lobby of the Williams Center for the Arts in an exhibition sponsored by the Arts Society.
Two exhibition events will be held Thursday at the BCC. At a brown bag starting 12:15 p.m., the artists will talk about their work and “the meaning expressed in the art about being women.” They will attend a reception in their honor 5-7 p.m.
The gallery is open 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday. For more information, call 610-330-5819.
