So Many Great Women Artists

Missed it live? Watch the recording here!

For a long time it's been taken for granted that social systems contain and diminish women. And yet against great odds, women do achieve their ambitions—but even then, we often simply fail to recognize the scale and glory of what they have done. Why is this so hard to see? This talk will explore the extraordinary achievements of women artists and also the terms of greatness itself and how women have redefined it for themselves.

All ticket proceeds will benefit the Friends of the Collection’s effort to acquire works by women artists Carrie Moyer and Sheila Pepe.
