Virtual Zoom Tour: In the Spotlight – Women Artists at Fenimore Art Museum #2
This 20-minute virtual tour led by Associate Director of Exhibitions Julia Madore will take a closer look at the artwork made by women artists in Fenimore Art Museum’s collection. Women’s contributions to the art world are numerous and many of those works of art are housed at Fenimore across the fine, folk, and Thaw Collection of American Indian Art. Many of the artists are little-known outside of the art world. Women like Karolina Danek, a Polish immigrant who created bejeweled portraits, or Ann Butler, who painted tinware made in her father’s workshop will have their often-overlooked stories highlighted alongside a broader overview of art by women at Fenimore. A live Q&A session with Julia will take place following the tour.
This live virtual tour will be presented via Zoom. Registration is free, but a recommended donation of $10 will help to ensure that programs such as this can be continued and expanded in the future.
