In 2010 the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts created MINDS WIDE OPEN: audio and text, 400 years of women artists—fascinating!
Women's History Month
March 1 the National Museum for Women in the Arts tweeted:
"Can you name 5 women artists?" #5WomenArtists
I wonder how many days I can go before I have to look them up...
How many can YOU name? Can you match the artist to the image?
(hint, I put two images for a few of the artists)
