In The Farrell Auditorium

Discover the natural world anew with Simon Kelly, curator of modern and contemporary art, celebrating the opening of Women Impressionists and the Land. Kelly will discuss works by Mary Cassatt, Berthe Morisot, Eva Gonzalès, and others, revealing how nature became a site of artistic innovation, identity, and quiet resistance. These luminous works invite viewers to reconsider how women shaped Impressionism—and how their visions of nature still resonate today.
