00600	WOMEN'S FINE ARTS INVITATIONAL
00700	
00800	
00900	
01000		In keeping with the current feminist spirit and in observation of International Women's
01100	
01200	Year, the Women's Fine Arts Invitational spans the month of November at 510 Emerson Street
01300	
01400	in downtown Palo Alto.  Forty-four Peninsula women artists have mounted a one hundred
01500	
01600	and thirty piece exhibit in vast quarters donated by Cornish and Carey Realty.   With
01700	
01800	a cooperative spirit and a score of paint brushes, crews of artists have transformed a
01900	
02000	six-room basement into a museum-quality exhibit space.  Donations of equipment and time
02100	
02200	were also given by the UP Press, the Rich Paint Company, the Kelly-Moore Paint Company,
02250	
02300	and other organizations.
02400	
02500		The installation complete, a gala party attended by over 500 people marked the
02550	
02600	exhibition's opening Saturday, November 1.   Costumed men and women and dancers
02700	
02800	led by Claire Cooley added color to the festivities.
02900	
03000		The political function of the exhibit is emphasized by the display of a large and
03100	
03200	brightly hued bi-centennial quilt, designed and fabricated by 42 local women.  The quilt
03300	
03400	depicts some of the sacrifices and struggles that men and women endured to gain the
03500	
03600	independence of the nation and to gain other social and economic goals throughout
03700	
03800	American history -- securities and freedoms we are prone to take for granted.   Palo Alto
03900	
04000	women contributing to the quilt are Vivian Andreas, Gertrude Reagan, Shirley Cahn, Mary Hyman,
04100	
04200	Diane Giberson, Genny Guracer and Evelyn Chaney.
04300	
04400		The position of today's woman artist is humorously elaborated in a series of cartoons
04500	
04600	by Bulbul:  artists are pictured in typical predicaments faced by females in the art world.
04700	
04800	Male attitudes, conscious and unconscious, are exposed by the cartoonist.
04900	
05000		Themes of concern to women -- those of pregnancy, motherhood, the house-bound wife,
05100	
05200	female consciousness, and the beauty  of the female form and psyche -- are variously stressed
05300	
05400	in art works by Joanna Despres, Helen Morrison, Janice Haefner, Arielle Moore, Ann Hogle, Pat
05500	
05600	Sherwood, and others.  A concern for the individual is displayed by Sara Todd, Naomi Mendelzun, 
05700	
05800	and Deborah Monroe.  Environmental and ecological concerns spark the work of Marjorie Berry, 
05900	
06000	Gail Efron, Eulalia Andreasen, and Andrea Hendrick.  The high quality exhibit includes painting, 
06100	
06200	drawing, hard and soft sculpture, a large section of graphics, photographs, multi-media works,
06500	
06600	and a room environment of projections and music by Nancy Fox.  Since the exhibit is an
06700	
06800	invitational, the artists themselves were able to select works that reflect honestly their
06900	
07000	current personal attitudes, aesthetic commitments, and involvement with the women's movement,
07100	
07200	without the intermediary screen of juror or dealer.  This makes a strong, expressive show.
07300	
07400		On Thursday evenings (with the exception of Thanksgiving) a series of free
07500	
07600	entertainments will be presented in the galleries under the sponsorship of the Women's
07700	
07800	Coffee House.  On November 6 at 8:30 p.m. Helen Anderson, singer-composer-guitarist, will
07900	
08000	present a musical program.  On November 13 at 8:30 p.m. The Women's Ensemble, a five-woman
08100	
08200	theater troupe, will present a drama.  On November 20 at 8:30 p.m. Susan McDonald will give
08300	
08400	a poetry reading.
08500	
08600		On two Sundays in November the Women's Invitational will be the site of organizational
08700		
08800	meetings:  Sunday, November 9, the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom;
08900

49600	Year, the Women's Fine Arts Invitational spans the month of November at 510 Emerson Street
49700	
49800	in downtown Palo Alto.  Forty-four Peninsula women artists have mounted a one hundred
49900	
50000	and thirty piece exhibit in vast quarters donated by Cornish and Carey Realty.   With
50100	
50200	a cooperative spirit and a score of paint brushes, crews of artists have transformed a
50300	
50400	six-room basement into a museum-quality exhibit space.  Donations of equipment and time
50500	
50600	were also given by the UP Press, the Rich Paint Company, the Kelly-Moore Paint Company,
50700	
50800	and other organizations.
50900	
51000		The installation complete, a gala party attended by over 500 people marked the
51100	
51200	exhibition's opening Saturday, November 1.   Costumed men and women and dancers
51300	
51400	led by Claire Cooley added color to the festivities.
51500	
51600		The political function of the exhibit is emphasized by the display of a large and
51700	
51800	brightly hued bi-centennial quilt, designed and fabricated by 42 local women.  The quilt
51900	
52000	depicts some of the sacrifices and struggles that men and women endured to gain the
52100	
52200	independence of the nation and to gain other social and economic goals throughout
52300	
52400	American history -- securities and freedoms we are prone to take for granted.   Palo Alto
52500	
52600	women contributing to the quilt are Vivian Andreas, Gertrude Reagan, Shirley Cahn, Mary Hyman,
52700	
52800	Diane Giberson, Genny Guracer and Evelyn Chaney.
52900	
53000		The position of today's woman artist is humorously elaborated in a series of cartoons
53100	
53200	by Bulbul:  artists are pictured in typical predicaments faced by females in the art world.
53300	
53400	Male attitudes, conscious and unconscious, are exposed by the cartoonist.
53500	
53600		Themes of concern to women -- those of pregnancy, motherhood, the house-bound wife,
53700	
53800	female consciousness, and the beauty  of the female form and psyche -- are variously stressed
53900	
54000	in art works by Joanna Despres, Helen Morrison, Janice Haefner, Arielle Moore, Ann Hogle, Pat
54100	
54200	Sherwood, and others.  A concern for the individual is displayed by Sara Todd, Naomi Mendelzun, 
54300	
54400	and Deborah Monroe.  Environmental and ecological concerns spark the work of Marjorie Berry, 
54500	
54600	Gail Efron, Eulalia Andreasen, and Andrea Hendrick.  The high quality exhibit includes painting, 
54700	
54800	drawing, hard and soft sculpture, a large section of graphics, photographs, multi-media works,
54900	
55000	and a room environment of projections and music by Nancy Fox.  Since the exhibit is an
55100	
55200	invitational, the artists themselves were able to select works that reflect honestly their
55300	
55400	current personal attitudes, aesthetic commitments, and involvement with the women's movement,
55500	
55600	without the intermediary screen of juror or dealer.  This makes a strong, expressive show.
55700	
55800		On Thursday evenings (with the exception of Thanksgiving) a series of free
55900	
56000	entertainments will be presented in the galleries under the sponsorship of the Women's
56100	
56200	Coffee House.  On November 6 at 8:30 p.m. Helen Anderson, singer-composer-guitarist, will
56300	
56400	present a musical program.  On November 13 at 8:30 p.m. The Women's Ensemble, a five-woman
56500	
56600	theater troupe, will present a drama.  On November 20 at 8:30 p.m. Susan McDonald will give
56700	
56800	a poetry reading.
56900	
57000		On two Sundays in November the Women's Invitational will be the site of organizational
57100		
57200	meetings:  Sunday, November 9, the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom;
57300	
57400	Sunday, November 23, the Stanford Women's Center.   On Sunday, November 16, the Palo Alto
57500	
57600	City Council and the Palo Alto Arts Director and members of the city's Arts Department will be
57700	
57800	guests of the women artists in an informal gathering featuring tea and crumpets.
57900
