The Historical Society of Woodstock’s 2025 exhibit, Making Her Mark: Fifty Women Artists of the Historic Woodstock Art Colony, now on display at the
Schmucker Art Gallery
at Gettysburg College.
The Schmucker Art Gallery at Gettysburg College is pleased to announce the opening of the exhibition, Making Her Mark: Fifty Women Artists of the Historic Woodstock Art Colony, curated by independent scholar Dr. Bruce Weber. On loan from the Historical Society of Woodstock, the exhibition celebrates the work of 50 women artists who were active in the historic Woodstock art colony. The paintings, drawings and prints are drawn from the permanent collection of the Historical Society of Woodstock. The display ranges from women who arrived during the first decades of the 20th century as students at the Art Student League’s Woodstock School of Landscape Painting to those who came in the wake of the end of the second World War through the 1970s, with subjects ranging from portraiture, landscapes, and still lifes to abstraction. The exhibition explores the American art colony movement of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century as an alternative space for women who desired a life outside of the mainstream.
