Description

In 1976, the Women’s Art Registry of Minnesota opened a gallery in downtown Minneapolis—and introduced the Twin Cities to a feminist option to art. WARM was once a significant presence both nationally and in the neighborhood, offering educational workshops, a mentoring program, and an alternative exhibit space for Minnesota women artists. Its longevity and good fortune rivaled the ones of feminist art collectives in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, and renowned artists and critics such as Miriam Schapiro, Judy Chicago, Harmony Hammond, and Lucy Lippard participated in WARM’s programs and exhibits.

WARM, the primary history of this necessary group, includes an essay that places WARM inside the national feminist art movement. Twelve Minnesota artists are featured, representative of the a couple of hundred women who belonged to the organization and worked in a lot of art media, including painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, textiles, graphic design, and installation art.

Joanna Inglot is associate professor of art history at Macalester College.
