黑料不打烊

As the country celebrates the 100th anniversary of women鈥檚 suffrage in the United States, the Museum has re-installed our permanent collection galleries in 2020 with a special exhibition highlighting images of women from American and European artists from the 3rd through 21st centuries and work by American female artists dating from the 1920s through the present. 

This section of the gallery features artists working in the late 19th century and first decades of the 20th century and includes prints by Bertha Jaques, Blanche Dillaye, Frances Gearhart, and photographs by Jane Reece. The exhibition includes signature work by American masters Georgia O鈥橩eeffe and Louise Nevelson from early in their careers. The Museum鈥檚 nationally recognized still life collection is represented with works by accomplished 20th century painters Janet Fish, Janet Monafo, Carol Mothner and Myra Schuetter. 

For 60 years, the Evansville Museum has added to its permanent collection by purchasing works of art from our annual regional competition entitled the 鈥淢id-States.鈥� The blind jurying process has resulted in a significantly higher percentage of paintings, prints, drawings, sculpture, textiles, ceramics, wood and metal work by women in our permanent collection than the national average of art by women in most museums. The pieces selected for this installation give an overview of the many outstanding female artists from Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri and Ohio represented in the collection.
