Please join lecturer Martha Chiarchiaro as she illuminates fifteen women artists throughout history. In this presentation, we will explore the highlights of fifteen women painters over the past five centuries. As a sampling, we’ll view the Tudor court paintings of Levinia Teerlinc, the drama of Artemisia Gentileschi, the glamour of Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun, the maternal paintings of Mary Cassatt, and the boldness of Georgia O’Keeffe. You’ll leave with a better understanding of the tremendous contribution made by women artists over the past five centuries.

This event will be held in person at the Library. To join us, please register online.

Children and their caregivers will listen to entertaining books, sing songs and receive materials to make a fun craft at home. This imaginative Storytime quietly builds language skills and fosters literacy proficiency.

Space in this event is limited, and registration is required. To join us, please register online. Storytimes will be held on May 16, 23 and June 6, 13.
