The Ohio Feminist Art Museum Has a Home

After years of dreaming, gathering, and building community, the Ohio Feminist Art Museum has signed a 2-year lease on our first physical space in Westerville nestled at the edge of the Alum Creek River surround by woods.

On March 28, 2026, we open our doors for the very first time.

This space will house our growing collection of feminist art, host exhibitions and events, and serve as a gathering place for women and allies across Ohio who are looking for connection, culture, and community.

But before we can fully open, we need your help.

Building the Foundation

We are transforming this space into a home for feminist art. Donations from our Open House Fundraiser will directly support:

Renovation and improvements
Preparing and staging the collection
Maintenance of the space over the next two years
Accessible programming and events

Inside our front lobby, we are painting a Donor Tree — a permanent tribute to the women and supporters who helped lay the foundation of OFAM’s first home.

Every gift made during the Open House fundraiser will be honored:

Leaves for foundational gifts
Branches for sustaining supporters
The trunk for major donors (the roots that hold us steady)

Your name will become part of the story of this museum.

The Vision Behind OFAM

The Ohio Feminist Art Museum was founded by MK Wright, a lifelong feminist, social worker, mother, and community builder.

MK came out at 18 while emancipating from the foster care system. She worked her way through four college degrees, earning her Master of Social Work from The Ohio State University, as a foster & adoptive parent, while building a business, and navigating life as an openly lesbian woman in Ohio.

Over the past 30 years, she has collected art created by women. These are pieces purchased at women’s festivals, feminist gatherings, and grassroots art spaces across the country. This collection is not just art. It represents our history, culture, community and spiritual essence.

OFAM was born from a simple but urgent desire: to preserve the art and spirit of feminist movements across generations, and to create a space where women of all backgrounds, including lesbian, straight, trans, suburban, rural, artists and non-artists alike, can gather safely and build community.

This museum is personal. And it is collective.
