About this event

Event image

We’ve all heard the saying “Beauty is Pain,” but ask a woman what it feels like to purchase new shoes, get a haircut or spend a day at the spa and you will hear myriad pleasurable adjectives. Simmons aims at satirizing the culture of the elite consumption while simultaneously acknowledging her own complicity. 

The Edge of Glamour is not only about the double-standards of female identity, but also about challenging what institutions expect or deem as unacademic art, and questioning what constitutes “valuable” subject matter. 

*As a supporter of raising women’s voices, Simmons has chosen to donate All proceeds from the exhibition to Open Stage Project , a non-profit organization working to increase gender parity backstage by mentoring and providing educational opportunities to high school women interested in theater, television, and film careers.
