For the first time, the sculptures and paintings of 42 Southern women will be displayed together in this exhibition hosted at the Gibbes Museum of Art and organized by the Johnson Collection in Spartanburg. In the span of time in which these pieces were created (between the late 1890s and the early 1960s), women’s roles in society were challenged and redefined due to the influences of education, race, suffrage, and gender norms. Showcasing artists whose work contributed to the development of Southern art—whether mentoring future generations of artists, implementing new aesthetics, or challenging the status quo—this exhibition aims to show the challenges female artists faced during these tumultuous times. Gibbes Museum of Art, 135 Meeting St. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday-Saturday, 10am-5pm; Wednesday, 10am-8pm; Sunday, 1pm-5pm. $12; $10 senior, military & student; $6 age four-17.
