GREENSBURG - 28 West Second Gallery & Studio Space presents Women of the World, May 9 - June 6, 2009.   Reception is Saturday May 4, 2009, 7 - 10 PM.  The press and public is invited to attend this special event.

The all women exhibition, curated by Michelle Eng-Bendik, Gallery Director raises feminist issues and gender awareness in a subtle yet powerful way.  The collected body of work presented in Women of World, may not be from the bra-burning generation of feminist, but we still, Want it all:  family, career, equality, empowerment, a beautiful planet and a bright future.  The represented artists are women of the new generation, striving to build a world of their own, where they can have it all.
