A talented group of local women will be front and center at La Notte delle Donne, an all-women art show at The Salon, a temporary drop in creative space at 315 South Broadway in Rochester.
Rochester artist Cassandra Buck has organized the show, following her own interest in expressing the feminine through art.
“Sometimes it feels like a boy’s club,” said Buck, regarding art scenes. “Guys are just more aggressive in showing their stuff. I’m just trying to be more active getting the works of women to be more widely known to make up for that a bit.”
Buck, who described herself as a tomboy in her youth, doesn’t mind throwing herself headlong into a scene that other women artists may not feel comfortable in. The local scene, she says, is not worse than anywhere else, but still has a need to promote women more actively.
She has had a lifelong affinity for art and has become more involved in C4 (Concerned Citizens for a Creative Community), a nonprofit organization that Buck has recently become a board member of.
Buck’s motivation comes from a desire to have women’s work seen in a field where it helps to be a little pushy sometimes, as well as to showcase the different perspective that women express in their work.
“I just kind of threw myself in,” Buck said of her involvement in the group beginning last fall. “Before that there was nothing happening.”
Buck was the featured artist in the first monthly Sessions event put on by C4. She was able to sell a few of her paintings through that opportunity. Without the backlog of unsold paintings in her studio space, Buck has been able to start anew in the creative process.
A middle-school art teacher, Buck is also conscientious of gender differences in art over the centuries.
“Throughout art history, you’ll generally find that women are more inward focused, painting things that represent home, children, and representations of themselves,” said Buck. “Where men often paint scenes around the town, outside of the home.”
Works created for the show will include the photography of Dawn Sanborn, paintings by Buck, Laura Rice, Heather Jerdee, Anne Black-Sinaka, and Susan Waughtal. Rochester singer-songwriter Jill Zimmerman will be performing throughout the evening as well.
“I think it’s a really good mix,” said Buck. “The various styles and areas of focus are both unique and fit well together.”
La Notte delle Donne will begin at 7 pm and is scheduled to run until 11 pm, one night only, on Saturday, February 23rd.
