Facebook Live Escape into the Vault with Anne Brennan
Tuesday, July 21, 6 PM
Escape into the Vault with Executive Director Anne Brennan for a behind-the-scenes look at CAM's permanent collection. Anne will be discussing the work of Mary Cassatt, the American painter, printmaker, and Impressionist, whose work will be featured in the upcoming exhibition She Persists. Cassatt was also an avid supporter of women's suffrage. She wrote, "...never more than now was suffrage for women the question of the day - the hope of the future. Surely, surely, no women will wake to a sense of their duty and insist upon passing upon such subjects as war, and insist upon a voice in the world's government!"
