Westport CT — The Museum of Contemporary Art \ CT (MoCA\CT) is proud to present Enough Already: Women Artists from the Sara M. + Michelle Vance Waddell Collection, opening November 13, 2025, and on view through February 15, 2026.
About the Exhibition
Enough Already showcases 80 extraordinary works by modern + contemporary women artists from the renowned private collection of Sara M. and Michelle Vance Waddell. The exhibition reflects the collectors’ impassioned commitment to amplifying emergent voices and presenting powerful artistic statements around issues of gender equality, domesticity, motherhood, personal identity, and social transformation.
The show features works across all major media—including painting, sculpture, photography, works on paper, and textiles—with themes ranging from humorous and irreverent to deeply thought-provoking.
Internationally recognized artists Louise Bourgeois, Deborah Butterfield, Jenny Holzer, Barbara Kruger, Ana Mendieta, Catherine Opie, Cindy Sherman, Lorna Simpson, Kiki Smith, Mickalene Thomas, and Carrie Mae Weems are featured along with other important voices.
Sara Vance Waddell, a Cincinnati-based media executive and arts philanthropist, has spent over a decade building a collection that consciously champions feminist-leaning practices. Enough Already offers audiences an exciting opportunity to experience artworks that are both aesthetically dynamic and socially urgent.
