Gather at the Koehnline Museum of Art for the Opening Night Reception for Oakton's Annual WGSS Art Show, "Don't 'Drag' Me Down: Today's Battle for Liberation." Opening Night Reception takes place on October 5, 2023, from 5 p.m. - 8 p.m.

For this year’s annual juried art exhibition, Oakton College invited professional artists of all media, including performance artists, to submit a single work that provides social commentary and inspiration on the ways that marginalized communities create courageous spaces, empower each other and change the world. Submissions focus on women, non-binary, or queer communities in the United States or globally, have either a contemporary or historical context and may focus on either the public or private sphere. This exhibition is a collaboration between Oakton’s Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies program and the Koehnline Museum of Art.

Viewings of the exhibition run from October 5 through November 3 at the Koehnline Museum of Art during regular museum hours of 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. on Saturdays.

For any questions about viewing the exhibit or about the Opening Night Reception, please email Lindsey Hewitt (lhewitt@oakton.edu).
