Private Gallery Night: The Women Who Shaped American Art
17 E 67th St, 17 E 67th St Ground Floor, New York, NY 10065, USA, New York, NY, USWhat if the story of American art were told through the women who helped create it?
Advance Purchase Required here
Join Women of Culture for a private reception & walk-through at Lincoln Glenn Gallery exploring 250 Years: American Women Artists and the Nation’s Story — an exhibition that brings overlooked voices back into the spotlight and invites us to see American history from a different perspective.
Spanning the Revolutionary era through today, the exhibition brings together work from every decade of the nation’s history, revealing generations of women who created, experimented, and built remarkable careers even when the art world offered them far fewer opportunities for recognition.
We’ll travel through 250 years of creativity — from intimate early portraits and sweeping landscapes to Impressionism, Modernism, abstraction, sculpture, and contemporary art — encountering both familiar names and fascinating artists whose stories deserve to be rediscovered.
Among them are Mary Cassatt, Sarah Miriam Peale, Ida Ten Eyck O’Keeffe, Mercedes Matter, Lee Bontecou, Harmony Hammond, Lynda Benglis, Teruko Yokoi, and many more.
Over the course of the evening, we’ll have the chance to slow down with the work, exchange perspectives, and connect with fellow culturally curious women in the intimate setting of the gallery.
Come raise a glass to the women who created, challenged, experimented — and left their mark on American art, whether history remembered their names or not.

Infinite Conversations: A Salon Discussion on the Life & Work of Yayoi Kusama
New York, New York, NY, USA, NY, USWhat makes an artist unforgettable? Is it the work itself, the story behind it—or the way it changes how we see ourselves and the world around us?
Advance Purchase Required here
Join us for an intimate Sunday afternoon salon inspired by the extraordinary life, art, and enduring influence of Yayoi Kusama—one of the most recognizable, unconventional, and fascinating artists of our time.
Best known for her hypnotic polka dots, mirrored infinity rooms, immersive installations, and instantly recognizable visual universe, Kusama has spent more than seven decades exploring ideas of infinity, repetition, identity, obsession, connection, and self-obliteration.
But behind the Instagram-famous installations lies a remarkable story: a Japanese woman who arrived in New York in the late 1950s, immersed herself in the male-dominated avant-garde art world, staged radical happenings and performances, and developed ideas that would eventually make her one of the most celebrated living artists in the world.
During this relaxed, salon-style gathering, we’ll go beyond the dots to explore Kusama the artist, the woman, and the cultural phenomenon.
Together, we’ll consider questions like:
- Why are we so drawn to repetition, infinity, and immersive art?
- Can an artwork be both deeply meaningful and wildly Instagrammable?
- How much should an artist’s personal story influence the way we experience their work?
- Why did it take decades for Kusama to receive the recognition many of her male contemporaries enjoyed?
- Where is the line between artist, celebrity, and brand?
- And what can Kusama’s vision of an interconnected, infinite universe teach us about our own place within it?
No art-history knowledge is necessary—just bring your curiosity, perspective, and willingness to join the conversation.
This is not a lecture, but an intimate and interactive discussion designed to encourage reflection, exchange ideas, and help us experience familiar art from a fresh perspective.
We’ll gather over light refreshments in a beautiful private residence near Columbus Circle, making this the perfect way to spend a thoughtful fall Sunday afternoon connecting through art and conversation.
