western mystique show
The Western Mystique reimagines the West beyond its mythic past. The frontier was never just cowboys and conquest; it was a place shaped by the resilience of women whose stories remain largely untold. From Indigenous leaders like Lozen, the Apache warrior and healer, to Biddy Mason, the formerly enslaved woman who built a legacy of landownership and community care in California; from 'Stagecoach Mary,' the first African American woman to work as a U.S. postal carrier in the West, to artists like Agnes Pelton, who sought spiritual transcendence through abstraction; and yes, even 'Calamity Jane'. These women have long transformed the West into a space of reinvention, survival, and quiet revolution.
gina teichert
Just as The Feminine Mystique book by Betty Friedan challenged limiting narratives of womanhood, this exhibition sheds light on the unseen women of the West: the healers, caretakers of the land, makers, and visionaries who defied expectations and left an indelible mark on history. It brings together a new generation of artists whose work isn’t about the West as a place, but as a feeling, an invitation to explore the unseen, to heal, and to awaken something deeper within us. Through abstraction, texture, and form, these artists honor the spirit of those who came before, pushing beyond boundaries to awaken something transcendent—an echo of the past, a vision for the future.
