Women are front and center at the La Femme art show, currently on display at Art Central in San Luis Obispo.
The exhibit runs through April 3 and features the work of student artists from San Luis Obispo High School. As the media exploded with stories about allegations, assault, and inequality, it forced student artists to ask, “What does it mean to be a women in our society today?” Each student has taken their own interpretation of the importance of women. Some simply highlighted the female form, others created controversial works that speak to student-perceived injustices.
Proceeds from the show will go to the Women’s Shelter in SLO. Visit the La Femme event page on Facebook for more information. Δ
