A new exhibition of art books by a local group of female artists, Art4Artists, joyously fills the galleries at Kennedy Heights Arts Center. The exhibit, titled WomenWorkBooks, is meant to serve as a springboard for discussion on a wide range of women’s issues.
This exhibition attempts to demonstrate women’s concerns through “visual representations of hopes, dreams, questions, ideas and more,” according to its introduction. WomenWorkBooks has something of a scrapbook look — in the best way. A certain extravagant messiness marks the works, as though a surplus of ideas is spilling out.
WomenWorkBooks is on view through April 19 at Kennedy Heights Arts Center, 6546 Montgomery Road. A panel discussion with adult and teen artists takes place at 2 p.m. Saturday. More info: kennedyarts.org.
