registered will be sent an email with a handout and Zoom link.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Women in Art
Over the centuries, men making art have portrayed women for the
delectation of male patrons. Male artists tended to show women
either as goddesses or evil temptresses. This lavishly illustrated
presentation looks at how the male gaze has rendered the female
and explores the changes when women have the chance to become
artists and speak for themselves.
