Description
Join us for a special behind-the-scenes conversation with the curators of Mary Cassatt at Work—Jennifer A. Thompson, Emily Beeny, and Alejandra Rojas Silva. They will share curatorial perspectives and the unique choices they made while working on the exhibition as it traveled from Philadelphia, to San Francisco, to Honolulu.
They will also offer insight into how Cassatt’s life and art practice influenced how they approached the exhibition—with respect to their city, museum’s collections, and local audiences, to leverage rare opportunities and special challenges.
