Abstract
The arts administration field severely lacks the contribution of feminist critique as well as its
own disciplinary research specific to feminist art. This project seeks to help address that gap
through descriptive research by 1) describing the public participation and community
engagement activities of two active, US-based contemporary feminist art programs; 2) reading
these programs’ public participation and community engagement strategies vis à vis new
research on emergent trends in arts participation; and 3) assessing potential impact of that
research on current or future programs that seek to advance art and feminism. Research methods
include a literature review in feminist art theory, history of US feminist art programs, and recent
research in arts participation and engagement, as well as two case analyses of current feminist art
programs, employing both interviews and document analysis.
