Tour: Fierce Women
About The Event
The museum is brimming with artwork by and about women who thrived as professionals and influencers despite social norms that denounced such public, āunfeminineā behavior. Discover a diverse cast of fierce women who refused to let men define their place; thumbed their noses at the limited roles society accorded them; and blazed a trail as artists, activists, and innovatorsāproving that fierce gets the job done.
This unconventional, edgy, and fast-paced tour is fun, fearless, and free. Part of our monthly free Community Day.
RESERVATIONS:
