She Persists honors women artists of Ventura County whose creative practices have spanned two decades or more. Presented in recognition of Women’s History Month, She Persists acknowledges the women whose sustained commitment to their craft has shaped the artistic identity of this community. Through works that are thoughtful, experimental, expressive, and rooted in lived experience, the exhibition invites viewers to consider the vital role of women’s perspectives in contemporary art and the lasting impact of their creative legacies.
