ABSTRACT

An oral history of the New York Feminist Art Institute (NYFAI) based on interviews with founders, faculty, and members is currently being compiled as a donation to the Rutgers University Library which houses the NYFAI’s documentary archive. This is a project funded through a generous grant by the daughters of deceased NYFAI member Helen Stockton in honor of their mother. This short history of the NYFAI uses some of this material to demonstrate how the teaching curriculum contributed to this unique institution.
