A Show of Her Own: The theme of this show was carefully taken from the title of the 1929 essay by Virginia Woolf, A Room of One's Own. The essay really argues for women's education and other decencies that we then afforded to males and or those that had parents that were well to do enough. Woolf states that in both literally and figuratively if a woman is to be able to write she needs two things. Both money to support herself and a room of her own.

The ArtisTTable's 2019 Women's show titled, A Show of Her Own, plays off of that as it is important to have as well as a room, a show. The space to be and be seen and to be safe and to create without boundaries.

All women artists are invited to submit work for inclusion in an ArtisTTable online exhibition titled, A Show of Her Own, at www.ArtistTTableOnline.com. Accepted artists will have their work featured in the online exhibition showcasing their art along with descriptions of the artwork and artist contact information. Accepted artists will be eligible to win one of three prizes.

The prize for the People's Choice Award is special recognition in the Awards gallery and free entry to the next ArtisTTable exhibition that they decide to enter.

WHAT IS THE ARTISTTABLE?

The ArtisTTable is an international art group that was started in 2012 to be a forum for artists to participate in juried art exhibitions. The ArtisTTable was organized and is still run by two working artists, Royce Deans from Michigan, USA and Tali Farchi from Zwolle, The Netherlands. Because of there interest in bringing together the communities of art and culture, the ArtisTTable was born.

IS THE ARTISTTABLE ONLY ONLINE?

Although the ArtisTTable was conceived as an online presence, within the first year of operation real-life meetings of artists were happening. Today nearly half of the activity and efforts of the ArtisTTable are devoted to workshops, art retreats and events that bring artists together to get to know each other and create side by side. Online exhibitions will always be a major part of the ArtisTTable, but as time passes more and more opportunities to bring artists of all walks of life together will be more and more important.

WHAT KINDS OF EVENTS DOES THE ARTISTTABLE HOST?

One of our first efforts was to present intensive figure drawing events. We have always felt is important to work from the live model regardless of what sort of artist you are. First of all the academic exercise of working with the model is second to none and it is always great to hone your skills. Secondly, working from the live model opens up new channels of creativity in your art. We have hosted 8, 12 and 24-hour figure drawing events as well as simultaneous events between our Dutch and American studio with direct video connections.

We also present a week-long painting art retreats. We have held them in the US, France, The Netherlands, and Israel. We are currently scouting new locations in many parts of the world, as well as more in the US. Our art retreats are open to artists from all disciplines, photographers, and writers, as well as other creatives, are more than welcome.

WHO ARE TALI AND ROYCE?

We are two artists that live on two different continents, and each grew up in very different cultures. They are individual artists that were brought together by art and they have worked together for nearly 12 years on many many different art projects around the world. When they are not working directly together they are creating work in their individual studios in Zwolle, The Netherlands and in Michigan, USA.
