Out of the Shadows:
The Rise of Women in Art
PART 1
August 23 - December 10
PART 2
January 10– May 12, 2012
This two part, six-exhibit
presentation of women
in art is a multifaceted
exploration that goes
beyond a highlight tour
of notable women artists.
Out of the Shadows is an
exhibition that examines
women as the subject of
art, recognizes women
as artists, and looks at
the struggles women endured in an
effort to be recognized for their talents.
Women have been the subjects of art for
more than 30,000 years. Anthropologists,
archaeologists, and art historians have
studied the function and purpose of
female figures in art. However, there
is no record as to who the first female
artists were, or where and when they
worked. In addition, it was not until
the mid-20th century that historians
took a serious look at the impact
women have had on the visual arts.
This series of exhibits will look at the
topics of nature/landscapes, abstract/
non-representation, figurative/
portraiture, textiles, photography, and
the decorative arts. In each of these
themes, women have been a pivotal part
in telling her/history. A number of artists
represented in the exhibitions have
local connections to Oxford, the Oxford
College for Women, the Western College
for Women, and Miami University.

for their decades of contribution to
music. The 80-year old Smt. Thylambal
is also honored for her 50 years of
service to Music Education.

We encourage you to take an hour
and spend some time in one or
all of our three shopping districts.
The major business area fondly
recognized as “Uptown”, is located
in the historic district of Oxford just
one block from the Miami University
campus. It is filled with a variety of
shops, galleries, restaurants, and
antique stores. Oxford boasts more
than 50 restaurants providing a
variety of American and international
food choices. Be a part of Miami
tradition and enjoy the Bagel & Deli
Shop - a longstanding favorite of
Miami students and alumnae. This
delightful shop has all kinds of
combinations that go deliciously
with bagels! Enjoy reading through
the over 40 different recipes from
the David Letterman, Wam-O, Messy
Katie, to the Tanya Harding Club.
The popular Oxford Farmers Market
Uptown is open every Saturday from
May through November and every
third Saturday during the months of
November through April featuring
fresh flowers, fruits, vegetables,
baked goods, plus arts and crafts.
Or visit the Ball of Oxford, which
features not only the most gorgeous
of flower arrangements but unique
gifts and toys for all ages. Oxford has
a four-screen movie complex within
walking distance of the residence
halls and features the current
movies one hears about right off the
latest marketing advertisements.
If a bit of history sounds intriguing,
take time to visit the William Holmes
McGuffey Museum, the birthplace of
the McGuffey Eclectic Reader. The
book transformed the American
public school curriculum.
With the proximity to the Miami
University campus, Oxford offers
an abundance of cultural, civic and
social activities. There is the Oxford
Summer Concert Series held each
week in the Uptown Parks. Enjoy
the sounds of jazz, blues, modern,
rock ‘n roll, bluegrass… There’s
the annual UniDiversity Festival
featuring a traditional outdoor
street festival with entertainment,
food, and crafts of the south and
central Americas held in the fall.
But even with all of these amenities,
your daughter or son’s experience
at Miami will be one that she or he
never forgets. The camaraderie of
friendships, the bonds of fondness
for favorite professors, to hear the
Men’s Glee Club sing the songs
that stay true in their hearts. Yes,
Miami takes the best of the new
with the grandest of the old and
proudly pledges to continue to
provide an outstanding education as
it has done for 200 over years.
