What was it like to be a woman artist in the Parisian art world in the late 19th century, and what were some of the common, and uncommon, challenges? Join us for a conversation about women artists involved in the impressionist movement and the 1874 Salon where it all began with Mary Morton and Kimberly Jones, curators of our Paris 1874: The Impressionist Moment exhibition, and Nicole R. Myers, chief curatorial and research officer and The Barbara Thomas Lemmon Senior Curator of European Art at the Dallas Museum of Art.
Please note that high attendance is anticipated. Seating is first come, first served; advance registration does not guarantee entry. The presentation will also be livestreamed.
