The Art Center is honored to have been selected as a premier East Coast host location for the FemLink-Art 20th Anniversary Global Celebration, commemorating two decades of international collaboration among women video artists from around the world.

Founded by artists Véronique Sapin (France) and C. M. Judge (USA), FemLink-Art brings together an extraordinary international collective of 154 women video artists from 64 countries, using short thematic video works to foster cross-cultural dialogue.

Join us for this very special evening as we present three international video compositions: FEMALE • AGGRESSION • MAGIC. Together, these works explore the experiences of women, violence and human relationships, and the many meanings of magic through the unique perspectives of artists across the globe.

We are also pleased to welcome FemLink-Art co-founder and co-curator C. M. Judge for a special introduction and Q&A about the collective’s history, creative process, and international network of artists.

As a premier East Coast host location, The Art Center is proud to bring the work of women video artists from across the globe to audiences throughout New Hampshire and the greater New England community.
