Year of Women Artists Event!

Year of Women Artists Event!
Museum Member Exclusive.  Click here to become a member today.

Saturday, November 1
3–4:30pm

Join a docent-guided tour of The Art of Elizabeth Catlett from the Collection of Samella Lewis.

FREE
Advance registration is required; deadline is October 31.

This exhibition celebrates Elizabeth Catlett’s achievements in sculpture and printmaking and honors a half-century of her artistic activism in support of women. A trailblazing sculptor and printmaker, Catlett spent seven decades creating art that honored the dignity and strength of marginalized communities. Her powerful depictions of laborers, women, and African Americans address social issues relevant in both the United States and Mexico—two countries where she resided during her lifetime. Drawn from the collection of Dr. Samella Lewis (1924–2022)—an artist, historian, and Catlett’s former student—this exhibition highlights Catlett’s impact as an artist and educator. It celebrates her lasting influence and the ways she merged art and activism to inspire change.
