DESCRIPTION:Reception Thur Dec 12, 6-9pm; Exhibition December 12 through January 12; 
 Panel Jan 7, 7-8:30pm; artists' talk Jan 12, 1-3pm\n\nChoice is a landmark 
 exhibition about women's reproductive rights. At a time when the erosion of 
 women's reproductive rights is causing women in some parts of the country 
 to feel that Roe Vs Wade is a distant history, women artists from all 
 across the nation interpreted and created artwork to the theme, "choice." 
 They also give us insight to their artwork through their writings. While 
 one might think "choice" is just about abortion, the artists and juror 
 Catharine Clark show us that it encompasses the spectrum of reproductive 
 rights: if and when to be a mother, the method of contraception and the 
 termination of pregnancy. It is about celebrating a wanted pregnancy and 
 weeping over a pregnancy wanted and not fulfilled. It is choosing to 
 terminate a pregnancy without regret or feeling conflicted with loss, 
 wishing circumstances were different. The artists tell us Choice is what 
 each woman must have: the right to decide for herself.\n\nJuror Catharine 
 Clark, owner and Director of Catharine Clark Gallery in San Francisco 
 writes, "...choice is an exceedingly complex topic. I think it merits a 
 thoughtful voice. Artists whose work is approaching the topic with the 
 depth and complexity the subject demands were chosen for the 
 exhibit."\n\nExhibition: December 12 through January 12. Panel discussion 
 on reproductive rights on Jan 7 from 7-8:30 PM, artists' talk on Jan 12 
 from 1-3 pm.\n\nThe Choice exhibition catalog designed by Kelly Hammargren 
 and Miwako Nishizawa is available at the gallery during the 
 exhibition.\n\nChoice is sponsored by the Northern California Women's 
 Caucus for Art (NCWCA.org).\n\nArc Gallery supports the making of quality 
 art in all media, provides a nurturing environment for artists to create 
 their work, builds a community of artists to encourage exploration of art, 
 provides resources for the professional development of visual artists, and 
 promotes appreciation of the visual arts in the city of San Francisco.\n
