Finding Her Way | American Women's Experiences, 1845-1945
Tuesday, March 16 | 5:00 PM Eastern Time
Join us for an image-rich talk celebrating Women's History Month. The American experiment has allowed for many forms of societal rule-breaking, but historically, women artists often found themselves bound by old-world conventions. In this interactive talk, we take a deep look at the artworks of extraordinary American women artists, some familiar and most less so. These artists often faced difficult choices - making sacrifices in their personal lives or in their careers. Despite evident talent and success, most fell into obscurity with their death. Come discover and closely examine works by women artists who collectively paint a picture of a changing America.
