Brunch & Yale Art Musem- 150 Years of Women at Yale -1st All Groups Event

RING IN THE NEW YEAR with our First All Groups Event!

Let's get together and meet one another while viewing an art exhibit.

We may all meetup at a restaurant (TBA) for brunch at 11am. At this time, the museum is not allowing group tours. So, please buy your tickets online.

After purchasing your ticket, please be sure to click on "Going" and post your name and time. So, we may recognize you, hopefully you have a picture, else we'll meet you at brunch.

I am suggesting that purchase ticket times to start at 3pm. So, we all have time to have brunch together. But you are welcome to pick other times as well. I just felt a window of that time may be easier to get together for brunch.

At the end of December, I will take a look at the sign-up count to better gage where and how to schedule a group brunch. At that time, I'll have a better understanding of the group's numbers.

Looking forward to this 1st Networking Event.

HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE.....

On the Basis of Art: 150 Years of Women at Yale showcases and celebrates the remarkable achievements of an impressive roster of women artists who have graduated from Yale University. Presented on the occasion of two major milestones—the 50th anniversary of coeducation at Yale College and the 150th anniversary of the first women students at the University, who came to study at the Yale School of the Fine Arts when it opened in 1869—the exhibition features works drawn entirely from the collection of the Yale University Art Gallery that span a variety of media, such as paintings, sculpture, drawings, prints, photography, and video. Beginning with Josephine Miles Lewis, the very first student, male or female, to be awarded a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, in 1891, the show highlights the work of nearly 80 artist-graduates, including Emma Bacon, Certificate of Completion 1885; Audrey Flack, B.F.A. 1952; Eva Hesse, B.F.A. 1959; Sylvia Plimack Mangold, B.F.A. 1961; Jennifer Bartlett, B.F.A. 1964, M.F.A. 1965; Howardena Pindell, M.F.A. 1967; Roni Horn, M.F.A. 1978; Maya Lin, B.A. 1981, M.ARCH. 1986; An-My Lê, M.F.A. 1993; Rina Banerjee, M.F.A. 1995; Wangechi Mutu, M.F.A. 2000; Mickalene Thomas, M.F.A. 2002; Mary Reid Kelley, M.F.A. 2009; Njideka Akunyili Crosby, M.F.A. 2011; and many others. The title of the exhibition references the phrase used in the landmark 1972 U.S. federal law Title IX—which declared that no one could be discriminated against “on the basis of sex” in any education program receiving federal financial assistance, and which forced the School of Art to hire full-time female faculty beginning that year. Amid the rise of feminist movements—from women’s suffrage at the turn of the 20th century, to the ERA movement of the mid-20th century, to the #MeToo movement of today—this exhibition asserts the crucial role that women have played in pushing creative boundaries at Yale, and in the art world at large.

Exhibition and publication made possible by Nancy D. Grover, the Janet and Simeon Braguin Fund, the Katharine Ordway Exhibition and Publication Fund, the Raymond and Helen Runnells DuBois Publication Fund, and the Wolfe Family Exhibition and Publication Fund.
