The Feminist Art Base
The first online digital archive dedicated solely to feminist art. This continually updated database, which currently includes more than 125 artist profiles, offers content from the major contributors to feminist art from the 1960s to the present. Each artist’s profile includes multiple images, video and audio clips, a biography, a CV, and a Feminist Artist Statement, providing a view of each artist’s achievements. The Feminist Artist Statement, in which each artist details how her/his work relates to feminism, is an integral part of each profile and sets this archive apart from others on the Web.

The Dinner Party Database
Web visitors can explore The Dinner Party by Judy Chicago firsthand with a Virtual Tour, which provides a 360-degree view of the installation. From within the tour, visitors can access The Dinner Party Database that profiles each of the 1,038 women represented in the artwork. In addition, the tour allows an up-close view of the Heritage Floor as seen from the middle of the installation, going where no physical visitor can.
The Dinner Party Database, developed as a wiki, allows scholars to add or edit content facilitating a dialogue about these women’s contributions to history and providing the most up-to-date academic findings to the public. Each of the 1,038 profiles includes biographical information, photos, audio, and further resources about each subject.
The Virtual Tour and The Dinner Party Database are also on view from kiosks within the exhibition space.

Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art
The Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art is an exhibition and education facility dedicated to feminist art—its past, present, and future. Among the most ambitious, influential, and enduring artistic movements to emerge in the late twentieth century, feminist art has played a leading role in the art world over the last forty years. Dramatically expanding the definition of art to be more inclusive in all areas, from subject matter to media, feminist art reintroduced the articulation of socially relevant issues after an era of aesthetic "formalism," while pioneering the use of performance and audiovisual media within a fine art idiom.
The Center's mission is to raise awareness of feminism's cultural contributions, to educate new generations about the meaning of feminist art, to maintain a dynamic and welcoming learning facility, and to present feminism in an approachable and relevant way.
The Center's 8,300-square-foot space encompasses a gallery devoted to The Dinner Party (1974–79) by Judy Chicago, a biographical gallery to present exhibitions highlighting the women represented in The Dinner Party, a gallery space for a regular exhibition schedule of feminist art, a computerized study area, and additional space for the presentation of related public and educational programs.
The Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art was established through the generosity of the Elizabeth A. Sackler Foundation
