The Tucson Contemporary Women's Art Collective is highlighting 20 local professional female artists and their work will be on display until Friday, May 16, at Thunder Canyon Brewery 220 E Broadway. There will be a special reception at Thunder Canyon from 6 to 10 p.m. on Saturday, April 19.

Our goal is to amplify each woman’s unique voice to resonate within the arts community and ignite a new conversation reaching beyond the surface level façade of the mass media’s mind controlling perception of female identity, beauty, and gender roles. We believe that change begins with action and hope that our collective can build the momentum which inspires such change through creation and activism.
