Hera Gallery began as not-for-profit women's artist cooperative in 1974. From its inception, Hera offered women artists an alternative space to show their work during an era when it was often difficult to gain representation by commercial galleries, or have their work displayed in (or collected by) museums. During that time of challenging viewpoints and new ideas, the feminist movement influenced the conceptual and formal content of art, including the work of the members of the Hera co-operative. Since then, Hera welcomes artists of both genders making work in all stages of their careers.

• As part of our 30th Anniversary in 2004, Hera will host, GIRL ART NOW, a national juried exhibition that will explore the status of women, both as subject and maker, in the art of the 21st Century.
• Hera Gallery seeks current work by male and female artists making work about women and women's issues, and/or employing materials and processes traditionally associated with women.
