KWO Honors the 100th Anniversary of Women’s Right To Vote with Artwork From the Women of Killingworth

Submitted by Genie Dethloff.

Starting June 14, 2020 and continuing through September 14th (the anniversary of Connecticut’s ratification of the 19th amendment), the Killingworth Women’s Organization (KWO) will honor the 100th anniversary of women’s right to vote with an online presentation of local artwork by the women of Killingworth. Because we can’t celebrate women’s suffrage together, in person with a live art exhibition, we will recognize this milestone digitally online.

All original art is welcome including but not limited to painting, photography, textile art, pottery, and jewelry. Artists are encouraged to submit photos of up to three pieces of their work along with a short description including media used and title, if any, and a very brief bio of the artist, along with email and a phone number. Art will be displayed on the KWO website, its Facebook page, and Instagram. For more information on how to participate and to submit artwork, visit www.KWOCT.org. Questions, email info@kwoct.org.

In recognition of women’s suffrage, the women of KWO encourage all women to use this right and get out to vote.
