EXHIBITIONISTA: “A Woman’s Place – Visual Voices” at The EBELL of Los Angeles

March 11, 2025 By Debra Disman

I am thrilled to participate in “A Woman’s Place: Visual Voices”, a tribute to the profound impact of women’s narratives. This exhibition, in celebration of Women’s History Month, serves as a platform for artists to amplify stories that have often been overshadowed or marginalized. It provides a space where the rich tapestry of women’s experiences can be vividly depicted and shared in a manner that crosses language and cultural barriers.

Held at the historic Ebell of Los Angeles, 743 South Lucerne Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90005, on view from March 20 to April 24, 2025.

Opening Reception: March 20, 2025 from 6:00 to 8:00 pm

If you have questions about this event, please email: tickets@ebellofla.org or call 323-931-1277 x 131.
