On November 10, 1917, Alice Paul organized the Silent Sentinels, militant members of the National Women's Party, and initiated a non-violent silent vigil with picketing in front of the White House.
The exhibition highlights gender equality in the arts with selected works of seventeen artists to include: fiber arts, textiles, sculpture, paintings, and a sound installation, exploring subject matter that reflects their personal practice and unique techniques. The Silent Sentinel exhibition pays homage to those pioneering suffragists whose ground-breaking activism and perseverance in the quest for women's equality and social reform are an inspiration to all.
