| Paper Routes: Women to Watch 2020 Paper Routes is the sixth installment in National Museum of Women in the Arts' Women to Watch exhibition series. Artists use paper not merely as a support for drawings, prints, or photographs, but as a medium. Ranging in size from detailed, small-scale works to large installations, this exhibit explores artists' ability to transform paper into an array of shapes and structures. First presented in 2008, Women to Watch is a dynamic collaboration between the museum and its national and international outreach committees. This exhibit is on display now through January 18, 2021. |    | |   |  | |  | | |  |  | | Friday, October 23
