National Gallery West is pleased to present a new exhibition, Seven Women Artists, which will open its doors on September 29, 2015 and has been extended until February 21, 2016.

It featured new and recent work by seven oustanding mid-career female artists, who live and work in Jamaica or are from Jamaica: Kereina Chang Fatt, Miriam Hinds-Smith, Amy Laskin, Prudence Lovell, Berette Macaulay, Judith Salmon, and Jasmine Thomas-Girvan.
