Like so many good ideas, the Every Woman Biennial was born of a joke. Now it’s in its third edition, displaying the work of over 600 female and nonbinary artists, and expanding to Los Angeles.
C. Finley, the exhibit organizer, is “a painter who splits her time between New York and Rome.”
In curating, she had only two rules: no hate, and no headless women. “I don’t want a nude body with her head cut off in the show,” she said.
