Artemisia is a professional theatre dedicated to the production of classic and all-new feminist plays that center on women who have agency, independence, and are the focal point of their own narratives. Every theatre season, Artemisia searches for and develops a cutting-edge feminist play through a dedicated creative process that leads to a groundbreaking premiere production in Chicago. Artemisia is a 501 c 3 organization and relies on public support to fund theatre that promotes equality and social justice for all women and girls. Our namesake, Artemisia Gentileschi, was a Baroque artist whose paintings depicted violence with fierce honesty and elegance. For centuries after her death, her art was attributed to men. Feminist curators in the late 1970’s rediscovered Artemisia, who is now considered the greatest female painter prior to the modern period. A common theme in Gentileschi’s later work is women in moments of power, or triumph, which is why she is the perfect namesake for Artemisia.
