#emwa in the wild

One of my favorite works at the Art Institute of Chicago, and one of the few works by an early modern woman artist!

Louise Mollion, Still Life with a Basket of Fruit and a Bunch of Asparagus. 1630. Art Institute of Chicago.

I am back from the College Art Association Conference and it was such a wonderful experience! There were not many early modern panels, but I was able to attend this wonderful talk on women art museum directors in the 21st century. The speakers talked about their experience as women leaders in museums and the obstacles they’ve faced. The talk was empowering and an excellent reminder of the importance of women in leadership!

It’s time for another EMWA in the Wild! I am going to the College Art Association Conference in Chicago this weekend and hope to share updates about museum visits, interesting lectures, and other women artist related news! Stay tuned for more!
