Invocations: See Support Collect Women in the Arts Group Exhibition
Invocations features artwork by Kate Fitzpatrick, Rose Jaffe, Jackie Milad, Lee Nowell-Wilson, Kate Sable and Nastassja E. Swift. The artworks in this exhibition are material mirrors of the artists’ time spent in the intentional, healing stillness of devotion, mantra, meditation, self-reflection, and prayer.
This exhibition is part of Latela Curatorial’s Second Annual See Support Collect Initiative, encouraging the public to see, support & collect artwork by women and non-binary artists. This exhibition series and campaign aims to elevate women artists’ sales in a market where they make up only 2%.
Invocations group exhibition is on display at The Silva Gallery x Latela Curatorial. October 14, 2021 – January 9, 2022. Located at The Silva DC 1630 Columbia Rd NW, Washington, DC 20009.

About See Support Collect:
Latela Curatorial is thrilled to announce the second annual Women in the Arts exhibition and programming series, October 11-November 21. Launched digitally in Fall 2020 to uplift and center the work of 102 diverse women-identifying artists working in and around the nation’s capital, this year’s Women in the Arts will take place through multiple platforms including SIX exhibition satellite locations, a digital exhibition catalogue, and a full roster of events online and in-person.
A vibrant nexus for contemporary art, Women in the Arts is a curated 6-week program of intersectional placemaking, gap-filling, community-fostering exhibitions, receptions, artist-led programs, and dialogue.
Today, in the year 2021, women artists’ sales still make up only 2% of the global market. Despite highly visible efforts to counter the absence of women artists in international museum collections, very little action has been directed toward this jarring discrepancy in emerging to established women artists’ primary survival mechanism: the creative economy. Further, DC, Maryland, and Virginia artists are working in a deeply engaged local art world that is at the red-hot center of the United States’ political landscape, and yet their voices are largely dismissed by the international art community and press.
Latela Curatorial dedicates its platform now and always to promoting balance in the art market and to shifting the narrative around cultural value in Washington. Latela Curatorial staunchly supports trans women and affirms that ALL women and femmes are welcome and safe as participants and collaborators in the Women in the Arts container.
About Latela Curatorial:
Based in Washington DC with presence in Los Angeles, Barcelona and Milan, Latela Curatorial is an international art advisory and curatorial studio serving art collectors, design and corporate professionals, institutions, artists, and communities.
For all projects, LC's mission is to continuously question how support is defined in the artworld and to advocate on behalf of the artist and arts workers. LC's attitude is to nurture with a matriarchal approach: creating generative and sustainable opportunities for artists, collectors and communities alike.
