About The Wild Side

“You were once wild here. Don’t let them tame you.” ~Isadora Duncan

THE WILD SIDE: California Women Artists Celebrate the Untamed

We all have a wild side, whether we stride boldly there or keep it under the radar. Women, traditionally, have been taught to keep their “wildness” under wraps—raucous, adventurous, risk-taking, bold and brave, sometimes licentious, or living outside traditional moral codes. For THE WILD SIDE, California women artists evoke drama, awe and strong emotions with works that excite visually… and celebrate the untamed!

Arc Studios & Gallery hosts THE WILD SIDE: California Women Celebrate the Untamed, a NCWCA sponsored exhibition. THE WILD SIDE, a primarily juried exhibition, also includes six invited artists–each anchoring an interpretation of the theme.
