Event Description
_Please Note: Tickets are required for admission to the lecture.
Admission to the lecture includes entrance to the Art+Feminism
Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon_.
Explore and enjoy the aesthetic achievements of American women
artists before 1920, the year of women’s suffrage, in a variety of
media with curator Erica Hirshler of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
Her illustrated talk will examine their accomplishments within the
context of social history and the accessibility of an artistic
education. As painter Cecilia Beaux wrote in 1915, she looked forward
to the day “when the term ‘Women in Art’ will be as strange
sounding a topic as the title ‘Men in Art’ would be now.”
