Curator Tour of
Power Up: American Women Printmakers
Georgetown University Library
September 30, 10:30 am
This program is in-person and members-only
Please join us for a September 30, 10:30 am tour of the current exhibition at Georgetown University Library, Power Up: American Women Printmakers. This will be a members-only, in-person event.
Power Up: American Women Printmakers was curated by 15 graduate students in Museum Studies and undergraduates in other degree programs as the culminating project of their semester-long class, “Curating American Women Printmakers.” The tour will be led by the professor and curators who co-taught the class: Lisa Strong, Chair of the Art and Museum Studies Program, Art Curator LuLen Walker and Assistant Curator Christen Runge. The forty-eight prints in the exhibition are from the permanent collection of the Booth Family Center for Special Collections at Georgetown University Library. Beginning with works by Mary Nimmo Moran and Eliza Greatorex of the Etching Revival period, and ending with contemporary artists such as Rosemary Covey, Renée Stout and Yuriko Yamaguchi, the works are grouped into four themes: Identity and Politics; Women Representing Women; Women and the Art Market; The Importance of Studios, Teachers, and Mentors; and the Labor of Printmaking. Additional information about the exhibition is available here.
