The Women & Identity Festival

The Ninth Annual Women & Identity Festival is dedicated to the concept of women artists creating a vibrant and supportive community with each other. The Festival offers a forum to women dedicated to the arts; including writers, filmmakers, painters, sculptors, musicians, composers, actors, playwrights, dancers and performance artists. The Festival is an opportunity to view and discuss work while exploring what it means to be a woman artist working today.

During the Festival, women have the opportunity to cover a number of topics, ranging from the personal to the larger investigations of the socio-economic and political climate faced by women in the arts. This year's festival features the addition of a virtual residency via Deep Listening Institute's website. Ione, Artistic Director of Deep Listening Institute has been curator of the Women and Identity Festival since the first 1999 presentations at the Gallery at Deep Listening Space in Kingston, NY.
