FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Ceres Gallery Announces Its 2026 Annual Member Exhibition: “Raising Women’s Voices” with opening reception on June 25, 2026
NEW YORK, NY — From June 23 to July 18, 2026, Ceres Gallery is proud to present “Raising Women’s Voices,” its premier, annual group exhibition and a cornerstone of the gallery’s mission to champion the collective power of its membership.
As an all-women organization, Ceres Gallery views this highly anticipated yearly showcase as a vital act of cultural preservation, ensuring that women’s perspectives remain at the forefront of the contemporary art dialogue.
The 2026 annual exhibition draws from a sophisticated community of artists across the United States and abroad, highlighting an extraordinary range of artistic mastery and conceptual depth that spans traditional oil painting, sculpture, drawing, and printmaking alongside experimental digital installations, photography, and mixed-media textiles.
Thematically, the collection is as diverse as the artists themselves, moving beyond a single aesthetic to explore urgent, multifaceted viewpoints including socio-political activism that challenges existing power structures, artistic responses to environmental justice and the climate crisis, and deep investigations into personal identity and the hidden histories of women.
By weaving together these varied narratives and abstract reflections on the human condition, the exhibit creates a powerful, multifaceted experience that honors the complexity of women’s lives and reinforces the gallery’s long-standing belief that art serves as an essential social service with the power to educate, enhance, and enrich the world.
Founded in 1984 as a program of the New York Feminist Art Institute (NYFAI), Ceres Gallery is a feminist, not-for-profit, alternative gallery dedicated to the promotion of contemporary women in the arts, providing exhibition space that enhances public awareness and helps remediate women’s limited access to commercial galleries while serving as a supportive base for a diversity of artistic and political views.
