    Current MA-NMWA Members (and one guest) are invited to attend a special Author's Evening with Jennifer Dasal, Art Historian, Writer, Podcaster and Curator, and author of the book The Club: Where American Women Artists Found Refuge in Belle Epoque Paris.

    This is the little-known story of The American Girls' Club in Paris, a home-away-from-home for female artists in Moulin Rouge-era Paris. The book tells how what started as the dream of an ambassador's socialite wife, was then inhabited by a cross-section of America's creative daughters, and became one of the most influential and important outposts for the position of women in the global art scene.

    Michael Finkel, #1 New York Times best-selling author of The Art Thief, says, "Through masterful research and sparkling prose, The Club feels like an exclusive invitation to a Parisian enclave during an era of artistic and social transformation."

    This evening will be held in a private residence in Boston's Back Bay, and will include Parisian inspired drinks and hors d'oeuvres. Location and further details will be shared with registered MA-NMWA Members. All attendees will also receive a signed copy of Dasal's book.

    Join MA-NMWA for a curator led-tour with Dr. Yuhua Ding, Kemper Assistant Curator of Collections and Academic Affairs, of The Immortal Magu: A Sixteenth Century Painting Up Close. The painted scroll was donated to Wellesley in 1983 by Lois Levin, Class of 1942. It depicts Magu 麻姑, a legendary Taoist immortal deity associated with longevity and beauty. In 2023 the Davis Museum launched a 2-year project to preserve this unique painting for generations to come, an effort led by world-renowned paintings conservator Jing Gao, which combined traditional and innovative approaches to the restoration and the new mounting.


    Dr. Ding will also walk us through the exhibition of The Worlds of Ilse Bing. Featuring a recent gift of vintage photographs by the groundbreaking photographer Ilse Bing (1899-1998), this exhibition explores the development of the photographic medium in the mid-twentieth century. The era in which Bing came to prominence saw the birth of the journalistic photo-essay, the launch of the 35-mm Leica camera, and experiments with abstract photograms and solarization. Artists led critical debates over how photography should remain true to itself as a medium of and for the modern world. From Frankfurt to Paris to New York City, Bing was at the center of it all, carving out a place for herself as “Queen of the Leica” in a male-dominated world of image making.

    Join MA-NMWA for a special tour of Edmonia Lewis: Said in Stone with Jeffrey Richmond-Moll, the George Putnam Curator of American Art, and view the first retrospective of acclaimed 19th-centurt Black and Indigenous sculptor Edmonia Lewis, in an exhibition co-organized by the Peabody Essex Museum and the Georgia Museum of Art at the University of Georgia.

    Born in Greenbush, New York in 1844, Lewis became the first sculptor of Black and Indigenous (Mississauga) descent to achieve international recognition. Beginning her career in Boston in 1863, she traveled to Rome in 1866 to join the leading American sculptors of her generation, breaking international, racial and gender barriers. "Sometimes the times were dark and the outlook was lonesome, but where there is a will, there is a way,” Lewis recalled in 1878. “That is what I tell my people whenever I meet them, that they must not be discouraged, but work ahead until the world is bound to respect them for what they have accomplished.”
