ADFAS Brisbane: Movers and Shakers
Movers and Shakers: Women who built American Art Institutions
This lecture discusses American women who built US museums: First Ladies and feminists who ran salons, wrote about art, organised exhibits and fought for equal treatment with male artists.
Their mission statements still guide the large cultural institutions these pioneers founded: Jane Stanford’s Museum in San Francisco, Abby Rockefeller for MoMA and Gertrude Vanderbilt for the Whitney. And Peggy Guggenheim is a whole other story.
Bring a guest.
Refreshments will be provided after each lecture session, morning tea after the morning lecture and wine and cheese after the evening lecture.
