About this event:
In the late-19th and early 20th centuries, social expectations and training restrictions didn't keep Chicago women from making art, forming arts organizations and learning the business of art. Many were successful in their day, yet all but lost to history.
Rediscovering these artists’ biographies and promoting appreciation of their work is an objective of the Illinois Women Artists Project and the subject of this presentation by art historians Wendy Greenhouse and Susan Weininger.
