Collectively Speaking, Then and Now: The Philadelphia Ten and The Other Woman

Selection of works from the 1920s, 30s and 40s by members of The Philadelphia Ten from Moore’s archives and new and recent works by members of The Other Woman, a Philadelphia-based art collective whose members are Aubrie Costello, Laura Graham, Darla Jackson, and Laura McKinley. Both groups were formed by female artists most of whom were students at Moore College of Art & Design (formerly known as Philadelphia School of Design for Women) in order to cultivate opportunities for group critiques, discussion forums and exhibitions. Collectives have a long rich history in Philadelphia. This exhibition looks at one of the earliest all women collective artist groups and how the tradition persists today. In addition to individual works and a new installation by The Other Woman collective, the exhibition features paintings by seven of the eleven first members of The Philadelphia Ten who presented their first exhibition at the Art Club of Philadelphia in 1917 including Theresa Bernstein, Cora Smalley Brooks, Isabel Parke Branson Cartwright, Mary-Russell Ferrell Colton, Nancy Maybin Ferguson, Edith Lucille Howard and Helen Kiner McCarthy.
