YWCA's 34th Women Artists' show wraps up tonight
YOUNGSTOWN
For the last 30 years, Diane Beatty has made a point to enter a local art display that showcases the talents of female artists.
Four pieces she submitted to the YWCA of Youngstown’s 34th annual “Women Artists: A Celebration!” made it into the 125-piece show that wrapped up Friday night.
“I love this show. It really spotlights the creativity of the women in our community,” said Beatty, of Campbell. “You can just tell by looking around, that it has a woman’s touch to it.”
She believes shows like this are important because they give female artists opportunities to connect with each other.
The crowd at Friday’s closing party had that chance to connect. A few dozen women — and some men, too — gathered at the YWCA’s downtown facility to admire the pieces on display, and to hear from some of the artists whose work was featured in the month-long show.
