WOMEN TO WATCH 2027
March 2027 - August 2027
In recognition of NMWA’s 40th anniversary and the 20th anniversary of Women to Watch, the museum’s hallmark exhibition series evolves into a multi-faceted experience across the new Gloria & Dan Logan Learning Commons. The MaryRoss Taylor Galleries will be filled with contemporary artists’ books—works of art in book form, which often encourage “readers” to rethink the nature of books in new or unexpected ways by fusing together a wide variety of materials and formats —from around the world, in the newest Women to Watch exhibition collaboration with our national and international committees. The Susan Swartz Studio will host hands-on bookmaking workshops for all ages. NMWA’s Betty Boyd Dettre Library and Research Center will exhibit additional artists’ books from NMWA’s world-renowned collection, and programming staff will partner with artists to present talks and book-arts demonstrations.
Heather Sealy Lineberry has been selected by the Arizona Committee National Museum of Women in the Arts as the curator to nominate artists who work in book art for Women to Watch 2027.
Heather Sealy Lineberry is Curator Emeritus at the Arizona State University Art Museum, faculty associate in the ASU School of Art’s Museum Studies program, and guest curator at the Phoenix Art Museum. Her thirty-year career at the ASU Art Museum included managing the curatorial program, contemporary and historic collections, and curating contemporary art exhibitions with an emphasis on new art forms and collaborations across disciplines. An ongoing focus of her research and curatorial work has been artists who explore the interconnected natural, built, social and political environments and employ strategies from visualization to engagement to explore complex issues of sustainability. Recent exhibitions include New Earthworks (2022), co-curated by artist Mark Dion, and Energy Charge: Connecting to Ana Mendieta (2016), co-curated by Julio Cesar Morales. Currently, Lineberry is curating a survey exhibition of American painter Eric Fischl for the Phoenix Art Museum, opening in November 2025. She also edited the accompanying book, Eric Fischl: Late America, published by Scala Publishing and featuring new perspectives on his work by all women contributors. For the ASU Museum Studies program, Lineberry is also developing a new class, Museums, Sustainability and Climate Change, looking at practical, programmatic, and mission-based approaches for museums to become important conveners of discussion and action on climate change. Lineberry holds an MA in art history and a BA in the Plan II Honors Program from the University of Texas at Austin. accomplishments
