Teaching Gallery: Then & Now: Women Artists at the Spencer Museum of Art

Susan Earle, curator

White Gallery, Spencer Museum of Art, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas

This short-term exhibition in the Raymond White Teaching Gallery highlights works made by women that were acquired by the Spencer Museum of Art around the time of the founding of the KU women’s studies program in February 1972, in dialogue with more recent acquisitions of works by women.
