Red has an unmistakable, alluring mystery about it. Its boldness draws your emotions and often entices celebration. Come see the color red take form as Women of Visions, Inc. (WOV) presents “Living Red: Are you Feelin’ Me,” an exhibition of striking visual works created by the members of WOV. This exhibition will explore the artists’ personal journey, history, and memory of the color red as it relates to African American women artists living and working in America. The work produced will be of a diverse sampling of vivid artistic styles and media including but not limited to painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, ceramics, fiber, and jewelry. Each artist expresses their personal interpretation of how the color red related to them.



WOV, founded in 1981, is a Pittsburgh-based visual arts collective of African American women visual artists that share a common interest and passion for their art and history by promoting and educating the community and women artists around the world. This organization mounts collaborative exhibitions with museums, corporations, individuals and arts groups regionally and nationally. They have also published their own exhibition catalogs, posters, publications and are the proud producer of 3 symposiums, and most recently, the Migrations of the African Diaspora Film Series.
