Meeting Room A room 154

Join Denise Laurin for an engaging discussion featuring gifted women who triumphed over the status quo and who emerged as equals in the visual arts, despite the obstacles they were forced to overcome.

Women have always been active in the visual arts. For centuries, the men who dominated the discipline of art history often believed women to be inferior artists and did not include them in their writings. Join Denise Laurin for this discussion that features a sampling of the gifted women who triumphed over the status quo and who emerged as equals in aesthetic and technical skill, despite the obstacles they were forced to overcome.
