ABOUT MURRAY STATE UNIVERSITY
The Clara M. Eagle Gallery at Murray State University will host the 2009 Kentucky Girlhood Project. Including this exhibition in it’s programming schedule will build upon the Eagle Gallery’s commitment to community involvement, enriching the experience of regular gallery visitors while also inspiring new patrons to appreciate the arts. The content of the show relates to all women who grew up in Kentucky or who currently live in the state. This program invites everyone to participate in a variety of interactive arts experiences that explore feminist issues deeply affecting women today in Kentucky.
The Eagle Gallery is located on the Murray State University campus. Over 10,000 students attended the university in the 2007/2008 academic year. Of those students, approximately 60% were women, and 72% were Kentucky residents. Kentucky women comprise a substantial portion of the viewing population, and would benefit directly from this project. This show would also build awareness of feminist issues among all members of the student body and community. Additionally, groups that tour the exhibition will participate in discussions about the impact of the work and how it affects their views of contemporary feminist issues.

How utterly embarrassing that a call for art celebrating girlhood in KY must be advertised by a young female stuffing her bra. I don't know how you could more seriously insult those of us who have grown up in KY.
I was quite excited about the project until I saw that picture. My mother, sister and I are all KY artists...we all grew up in KY as well... but we will not be contributing to a competition that from the outset debases us.
What were you thinking?
you do cats, i do boobs. it's not supposed to be insulting. that was just my take on the project last year.
dang.
