Dana Todd Pope and Martha A. Wade, both artists and curators, co-founded Women’s LIVE Artist Studio– a vibrant community representing 30+ female artists from diverse backgrounds and mediums. Beyond being a “public art” gallery, WLAS is a supportive force in the Chicago art scene, advocating for equal recognition and opportunities for women artists globally. Located at Navy Pier, Chicago’s bustling tourist destination with over 8 million visitors yearly, WLAS offers not just exhibitions but also daily live art demonstrations and workshops, educating the public and creating a window into the creative process.
