with Jenny Parsons, PhD, Senior Curator

Included with Museum Admission, no advance reservations required

Join Curator Jenny Parsons for a tour of the Revelations: A Decade of Collecting, 2016–2026 exhibition highlighting recently acquired works by female artists.

Using the artworks on view, Parsons will discuss how women have been represented in art, have depicted themselves, as well as how they have moved the needle towards gender equality. From Impressionists and figurative artists like Mary Bradish Titcomb and Harriet Whitney Frishmuth to expressionists Gretna Campbell to abstract artists like Anni Albers, Anna Audette, and Ellen Carey, the place of women in art has evolved over decades. The role of Connecticut “artist-women” is an important one that has broad reach.

Revelations: A Decade of Collecting, 2016–2026 is currently on view at the Florence Griswold Museum.
