“Some Day is Now: Women, Art and Social Change,” which opens on October 1 at the New Britain Museum of American Art, is an exhibit that is uplifting visually and resplendent in slogans. The show contains works by 21 women artists and ephemera from the Women’s Suffrage movement.

The show opens with print ephemera from the Women’s Suffrage movement borrowed from the Harvard Art Museums, the Smithsonian and Connecticut Historical Society. It then unfolds into a contemporary exhibition, featuring women artist activists, each with a unique vision for creating social change. Curated by Lisa Williams, the exhibition is weighted toward print mediums as a link to popular culture. Paintings are also featured, as is mixed media, intermedia and installation art. Williams has brought together excellent examples of text-based artwork and narrative art to achieve a vibrant, meaningful and inspiring show.
