About the Show

by the LAA History Guys

“Celebration of Women” exhibit was created and directed by LAA member, Barbara Reynolds in 2015.  It was born out of Barbara's international travels during which she collected a portfolio of photos of women from around the world.

Historically it was sponsored by Livermore Art Association and the Pleasanton Art League. Normally the show is held in March during the International Women’s month but this year it has been delayed to May; it will still be at the Livermore Library. It is a great opportunity for photographers to have their artwork shown for a whole month. 

You can participate in the judged photography competition with monetary awards or the In Honor of Women show. The Honoring Women section is not judged and accepts any 2D (hangable) artwork. It is a tribute to the special woman /women in your life.
