Inspired by Louise Nevelson’s 125th birthday, this Evenings for Educators presentation will focus on women sculptors. Artist Lisa Merida-Paytes—whose work has been exhibited, collected, and published nationally and internationally for more than 25 years—will present on bringing awareness of people living with disabilities while pushing the boundaries of contemporary art. Participants will have an opportunity to hear about Lisa’s work, ask questions of the artist, and enjoy a docent guided tour of women sculptors in our collection, including Nevelson.

For each program attended, educators can earn CEU’s and 1–2 graduate credits for an additional fee.
