Having the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art  right here in Brooklyn at the Brooklyn Museum is pretty terrific. I’ve strolled through The Dinner Party, seen bunches of feminist art exhibits and my favorite of all, attended a Barbara Hammer book tour event!

But it turns out, not everyone can or wants to live in Brooklyn. And that’s why we have the internet! Because now you can visit the Feminist Art Base via the world wide web and get your fill of feminist art:

Welcome to the Feminist Art Base, the first online digital archive dedicated solely to feminist art. This ever-growing database offers profiles from some of the most prominent and promising contributors to feminist art from the 1960s to the present. Each profile includes multiple images, video and audio clips, short biographies, CVs, and “Feminist Artist Statements.”

In addition to the database, the Brooklyn Musuem website offers podcasts and videos so go ahead and get your art on without weathering the elements of the real out of doors.
