About this project
B*tch Fest is a collaborative vision for exhibition of female art conceived by Terri Lloyd and Monica Marsh, founders of The Haggus Society.
During a conversation last year (2010), Monica and Terri came to the realization that older women are invisible in society, but more specifically in the arts. Even a television show makes reference to the invisibility of people over 40.
Monica and Terri have discussed and surveyed the issues that postpone or delay women's art careers. There were also the issues of ageism in a youth oriented society (and industry), and the idea that art by women must fit a hygienic mold. Along with these challenges is that there is little to no institutional support for the older female artist.
We seek to change that and the language of the landscape.
Not everyone has a linear art career trajectory. Life happens. Right?
Many women are re-igniting their careers during these highly inflammatory and changing times, and yet we remain under-served.
We have become invisible regardless of our exceptional talent.
We want something, someplace specifically for women like us– multifaceted older women who play hard and work hard; women who are activists, thinkers, and (creative) risk takers; women who get it --AND get what we’re about.
We continue to connect daily with older female artists who push the envelope, don’t conform to polite society or social norms. Women who refuse to compromise, who refuse to compete, and dare to do things their own way.
Our message is resonating with women, young and old, well behaved and not so well behaved.
B*tch Fest is for artists (30-ish and older) who share a vision of empowerment through the arts by challenging social perceptions about age and gender.
Help give voice to a vibrant demographic that is being ignored.
We are not invisible.

That's right. There is additional benefit to you being an artist and your donation. If you are an artist who would like to show and support this endeavor, we'll wave the submission fee when we launch our call for art. That means you can submit 5 images to the exhibition at no charge, no matter how small the contribution, should we get funded. It's just our little way of saying thanks.

Anything is possible. However, we won't know who the featured artist will be until we do our call for art in November. No matter who is accepted into the show, we do guarantee that there will be a juried winner(s) and the art will meet a standard of excellence.

Born 1960
Self-educated
“I have found a great comfort not fitting in. Even growing up, I was always outside looking in… It’s much safer and friendlier out here in the wilderness.”
Terri Lloyd is a San Francisco Bay Area transplant that has called Los Angeles home since 1980.
Under the influence of a Sixties latch-key-kid youth, the circumstances of a working class life did not provide the conventional means to an art education or experience.
“It has been challenging, but I refuse to let the institutions get in the way of my education. Knowledge is now available at our fingertips. There is no excuse for ignorance. Ignorance has become a choice.”
Introduced to the Apple Macintosh in 1987 a love affair with digital art was born. Terri has never viewed computer generated imagery as a movement. The computer and software are tools. How the operator chooses to use them remains as individual as any other artist working in any other medium.
“I compare the work I create to advertising. It’s about formulating the right message first, and not becoming a sporting event half-time fiasco that baffles the viewer with high tech circus tricks.”
Terri’s approach is something that she terms a “whole-istic Zen,” which emulsifies decades of commercial and graphic arts expertise into pointed, often controversial visuals. Seasoning her images with pun and insinuation, all the while thumbing her nose at conventional wisdom and other popular absurdities.
She currently resides in Northeast Los Angeles with her husband, three cats and one boisterous macaw.
