Join art historian Judith Curtis to discover untold stories of early 20th century women artists of the North Shore. Judith's lecture, based on her work as co-curator of the 2015 "Strokes of Genius: Women Artists of New England" exhibition at the Rockport Art Association & Museum, will delve into the lives and works of influential artists Jane Peterson, Marguerite Pearson, Emma Fordyce McRae, and others.
Through her engaging slide presentation, Judith will highlight how color, design, and subject matter helped establish these women as experts in their field despite facing immense challenges in the male-dominated art world of their time. Don't miss this unique opportunity to gain insight into the creative journeys of these remarkable women and learn how they paved the way for future artists.
Doors open at 5:00. Complimentary refreshments. Lecture is from 5:30-6:15 followed by Q&A. Enjoy the current exhibition in the StoveFactory Gallery prior to and after the lecture; "Clean Slate: A Juried Exhibition Inspired by the Change of Season."
Eventbrite tickets are free; suggested donation of $10 to the AGC at the door.
