Exhibit: She Got Game In 1972, Congress passed Title IX, which states that "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance." In short, this means that whatever federally funded sport men can do, women can also do. Putting aside the law's merits (plenty of folks think it has none), the world of women's athletics goes far beyond those sports covered by Title IX, as evidenced by the exhibit "She Got Game." Artist Cory Oberndorfer paints scenes from roller derby--a female-dominated sport that you won't find on any college campus; for her book "She's Got a Gun," Atlanta-based photographer and firearm enthusiast Nancy Floyd snapped photos of gun-wielding ladies from all walks of life. The real stunner at this exhibit, however, is Martin Schoeller's series of eight-foot-by-six-foot photos of female bodybuilders; sure to make your jaw drop and challenge your perceptions of female strength. Through March 18 at Arlington Arts Center, 3550 Wilson Blvd., Arlington VA. Phone: (703) 248-6800. Web: www.arlingtonartscenter.org
