A Look Back at the Guerrilla Girls, 40 Years In
This article is part of our Museums special section about how artists and institutions are adapting to changing times. When it comes to artists whose works have a decidedly feminist bent, the Guerrilla Girls are among the most prominent. Composed of a collective of anonymous artists, they first made their mark in 1985 with declarative message-bearing prints that spoke out against discrimination and advocated for more inclusivity in the art world. Since then, the group has created hundreds of provocative prints, posters, billboards and everyday objects, including tote bags and erasers. Their pieces address such issues as reproductive rights, gender and racial inequality and political corruption. The Guerrilla Girls' art is displayed in major museums worldwide, including the Tate Modern in London, the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, and the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Guerrilla Girls, and the National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA) is commemorating the moment with an exhibition, 'Guerrilla Girls: Making Trouble,' on view now to Sept. 28.

Events, parties and wine honor Women's History Month in the D.C. area
Aviators and painters, comedians and winemakers, chefs and civil rights leaders — over the course of Women's History Month, you'll be able to celebrate female trailblazers whose accomplishments burn too brightly to ignore. NMWA Community Day: Women's History Month with Molly Grace It's Women's History Month year-round at the National Museum of Women in the Arts, which boasts that it's 'the first museum in the world solely dedicated to championing women through the arts,' but the downtown museum hosts multiple events during March. It begins with one of its free-admission Community Days, which features a discussion and acoustic performance by musician Molly Grace (who has a show at the Atlantis the night before). Tickets are required for this portion of the day, which begins at 11 a.m., but not for anything else, which includes drop-in tours of exhibits throughout the day and hands-on crafting in the museum's studio. March 2 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Free; reservations recommended for the event and required to see Molly Grace.
