Sandra Rowe at the Riverside Art Museum
For nearly fifty years, Sandra Rowe’s work has been impossible to categorize. With her unflinching views of relationships, race, and gender, she pokes and prods, asking questions that are difficult to answer and which often go unspoken aloud. Figures are often stripped of gender and race yet, somehow, more deeply embody the core of the human experience. Rowe’s long overdue retrospective, Mother Wit, explores the full range and depth of Rowe’s artistic expression.
“Sandra is one of Riverside’s most important art stories,” says Drew Oberjuerge, RAM Executive Director. “This retrospective is very crucial for the Riverside Art Museum to showcase.”
The exhibition is curated by Todd Wingate, RAM’s Director of Exhibitions and Collections, who showed Rowe’s work in the 1980s in his gallery, the Mind’s Eye in downtown Riverside. Throughout this time, Rowe and Wingate have maintained a good friendship. When Wingate came to RAM, one of his top priorities was to organize this retrospective. For over three years, they have poured over hundreds of pieces of art and combed through boxes of archives to create this powerful exhibition featuring Rowe’s life-time achievement of work.
“For over 30 years, I have been awed by Sandra’s unflinching view of human nature and more so by how that view informs her work,” says Wingate. “Often deep or dark, but always incredibly powerful, Sandra does not shy away from shining a bright light upon social injustice in her work. She confronts it head-on, navigating the various layers created by love, fear, lies, and truths.”
“For several years, Sandra and I had studios next to each other in an old produce warehouse on Vine Street,” says artist and former gallery owner Connie Ransom. “Sandra made me dizzy with all the art she was in the process of creating and her ideas for all the art that she was 'going to make' in the future. It was hard to keep up with her ideas because they clicked by so quickly. Nothing stood in the way of her creating exce

Can you name five women artists?
Campaign Overview
Since 2016, the National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA) in Washington, D.C., has galvanized more than 1,000 cultural institutions from seven continents and 47 countries with the award-winning #5WomenArtists social media campaign. Through #5WomenArtists during Women’s History Month, NMWA aims to help the public answer—without hesitation—“Can you name five women artists?” A seemingly simple question with a not-so-simple answer—even for those who consider themselves wellversed in the arts—#5WomenArtists has elicited shock, provided a challenge, and sparked conversation about gender equity in the arts. The NMWA has invited us (and YOU) to join them in continuing the campaign to increase gender parity in the arts in March 2019 by using #5WomenArtists to share important contributions by women.
The Riverside Art Museum is proud to once again be a partner on this campaign.
Why is this important?
Can you name five women artists? Many people can’t. If you can, it probably takes you much longer to think of five female artists than five
male artists. The truth is that women have never been treated equally in
the art world, and today they remain dramatically underrepresented and
undervalued in museums, galleries, and auction houses. This imbalance
goes well beyond the art world, of course. But art plays a vital role in exploring issues of gender in society. That is why the #5WomenArtists social media campaign is so important. #5WomenArtists directly addresses the gender imbalance in the presentation of art in the United States and abroad, assuring great women artists a place of honor now and into the future.
Ed Fuentes' father came to say a few words about Ed and to thank everyone.
