In honor of the 2020 Women’s Suffrage Centennial, twenty-three artists from Fairfield County and beyond have joined together for a year-long Portrait Project featuring the working women in Ridgefield’s Town Hall who often work behind the scenes.

Included along with their portraits will be one of the pioneer suffragists and author of the Equal Right Amendment, Alice Paul. A former Ridgefield resident, Alice Paul represents the many Ridgefield feminist activists, past and present, who continue to spark change.

The Portrait Project celebrates women’s progress from the voting booth to Town Hall as women have grown to play an important role in government on all levels and recognizes and celebrate the vital and equal roles women now play in creating a vibrant Ridgefield community.

This exhibition is part of Ridgefield's Votes for Women series, which explores the history of the women suffrage movement and celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the 19th Amendment. The exhibition will be on display in conjunction with the Votes for Women exhibition in the Carriage Barn.
