Transforming Loss
She/ They Gallery
207 N Broadway Second floor Suite L, Santa Ana, CA
‘Transforming Loss’ challenges artists to examine the many ways we cope with and move through loss, and how it touches our lives.
The exhibition seeks to encourage dialogue and reflection on a topic that is often shrouded in silence. Through art, we can explore these themes in a manner that fosters understanding, connection, compassion, and healing.
We encourage submissions that examine universal themes of loss and the resilience, growth, and transformation that can arise from it.
Whether you express these themes through painting, sculpture, photography, mixed media, or any other artistic medium, we encourage you to share your unique perspective.
Deadline: October 15 2023
Exhibition Theme: “Transforming Loss”
Show dates: November 4-25
Where: She/They Gallery Second Floor Suite L, 207 N Broadway Santa Ana, CA.

Organized by Kate Ryan and Gabrielle B McLean, independent artists, curators, and Board members of She/ They Gallery.
She/They Gallery was founded in 2022 by a mother-child duo Renee Ortiz (She/Her) and Mal Ortiz (They/ Them) in response to a lack of representation of female artists. It is a space for women artists, gender-expansive and transgender artists, artists of color, and artists with disabilities.
The gallery operates on a not-for-profit basis. All art sale proceeds go directly to the artists themselves. She/They Gallery is located in the heart of Santa Ana, in the historic Santora arts building - Second Floor, Suite L, 207 N Broadway, Santa Ana, CA.

She/ They Gallery “Womynfesto”
This is a gathering spot, a refuge for the unseen, those overlooked and disadvantaged by society.
Here you’ll find community and representation for the stories long suppressed by the systems in place—the ones formed by the patriarchy, infused with gender norms, classism, racism, and heteronormativity. Here we fight against these systemic issues, we listen actively, we champion inclusivity, and challenge our deep-set notions.
This is a space formed in response to a lack of representation of over half the world’s artists. Collectively 85% of those represented by galleries are cisgender men and only 15% are women. In this gallery, we aim to not only flip that statistic but also broaden our scope to all those Assigned Female at Birth, to Transgender Women, Intersex, and Non-Binary Folx. We heartily welcome and prioritize Womyn of Color and those paralyzed by trauma, be it physical, emotional, or intergenerational.
Here you are seen. Your stories have weight. You matter.
To me, to us, be it she, ze, or they, here you will always have a place..
