Curator's Talk and Tour at the Clark Art Institute

OLLI Special Events Committee presents:

Clark Art Institute

A Room of Her Own: Women Artist-Activists in Britain, 1875–1945

Wednesday August 27
10:00 a.m. 

In-person only

Join OLLI for a special behind-the-scenes talk and tour of  A Room of Her Own: Women Artist-Activists in Britain, 1875–1945. The exhibition celebrates twenty-five women artists who were, in fact, answering Virginia Woolf's call during her lifetime. They fought to establish themselves as professional artists at a time when the field was dominated by men. The exhibition explores the spaces these women claimed as their own and which furthered their artistic ambitions, including their rooms, homes, studios, art schools, clubs and public exhibition venues. 

The exhibition features paintings, drawings, prints, stained glass, embroidery, and other decorative arts. The artists' roles in creating change and opportunity—whether through art education, marching for women’s suffrage, protesting World War I, or creating networking opportunities to fellow artists or community members—are also highlighted.

The event features a 1-hour talk by curator Alexis Goodin on the development of the exhibition and a 1-hour docent tour.

Cost: $23 for OLLI at BCC members,
$28 for guests of OLLI members
