The exhibit include works by Diana Arcadipone, Isabel Beavers, Cheryl Clinton, Laura Fischman, Mags Harries, Trintje Jansen, Jaclyn Klein, Jacqueline Mancini, Judy Mason, Katherine McVety, David Mussina, Anne Neely, John Redick, Karin Rosenthal, Nan Rumpf, Jeannie Simms, Sarah Slavick, Elaine Spatz-Rabinowitz, and Sherley Soraya Wijaya.
