SUMMARY:Locating Girlhood: Place and Identity in Early American “Schoolgirl” Art
DESCRIPTION: Photo Credit: American Folk Art Museum & Faith Trumbull (1743-1775)\, Needlework Picture\, Boston and Lebanon\, Connecticut\, 1754\, Silk\, mica\, and gouache on silk\, 23 1/8 x 54 in.\, Connecticut Museum of Culture and History\, Hartford\, 1974.99.0 \nThis fall\, the American Folk Art Museum presents Locating Girlhood: Place and Identity in Early American “Schoolgirl” Art\, a major exhibition bringing together works from across the field. Presented during the nation’s semiquincentennial\, Locating Girlhood reexamines the often-overlooked artistic production of girls and young women in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century America\, highlighting their sustained engagement with representations of place long before the emergence of more widely recognized traditions of American landscape art. Drawing on loans from institutions and private collections across the United States and Canada\, the exhibition offers one of the most significant explorations of early American girls’ artistic achievement ever assembled. \n“The American Folk Art Museum has long championed the creative achievements of American girls and young women\,” said Jason T. Busch\, the Museum’s Becky and Bob Alexander Director & CEO. “Since our founding\, the Museum has played a leading role in advancing the study and appreciation of these artworks through landmark exhibitions\, scholarship\, and publications led by pioneering figures in the field. As the nation commemorates its 250th anniversary\, Locating Girlhood offers a timely opportunity to look anew at these extraordinary objects and the layered histories they embody.” \n“This exhibition and the accompanying publication seek to shed new light on the rich yet underexplored genre of early American ‘schoolgirl’ art. Building on foundational scholarship that identified makers\, teachers\, and schools\, Locating Girlhood turns attention to broader questions of place\, identity\, and experience. We ask not only who created these works\, but why girls made them and what they reveal about their lives and worlds\,” added Emelie Gevalt\, PhD\, AFAM’s Deborah Davenport & Stewart Stender Deputy Director and Chief Curatorial and Program Officer. \nLocating Girlhood features nearly a hundred works drawn from AFAM’s collection in addition to more than two dozen institutions and private collections\, among them: Metropolitan Museum of Art\, Colonial Williamsburg\, Winterthur Museum\, Garden & Library\, the DAR Museum\, Northwestern University Libraries\, and the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History. Because of their fragility and sensitivity to light\, many of these works are rarely exhibited\, making this a unique opportunity to experience them firsthand. \nAdmission to the American Folk Art Museum is always free.

SUMMARY:Martha Graham: The Mother of Psychological Dance
DESCRIPTION:This centennial exhibition traces the arc of Martha Graham’s groundbreaking career\, centering her visionary approach to dance as psychological expression. Graham transformed the dancing body into a vessel for inner life\, using movement to externalize emotion\, memory\, and the unconscious.

SUMMARY:Locating Girlhood: Place and Identity in Early American “Schoolgirl” Art
DESCRIPTION: Photo Credit: American Folk Art Museum & Faith Trumbull (1743-1775)\, Needlework Picture\, Boston and Lebanon\, Connecticut\, 1754\, Silk\, mica\, and gouache on silk\, 23 1/8 x 54 in.\, Connecticut Museum of Culture and History\, Hartford\, 1974.99.0 \nThis fall\, the American Folk Art Museum presents Locating Girlhood: Place and Identity in Early American “Schoolgirl” Art\, a major exhibition bringing together works from across the field. Presented during the nation’s semiquincentennial\, Locating Girlhood reexamines the often-overlooked artistic production of girls and young women in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century America\, highlighting their sustained engagement with representations of place long before the emergence of more widely recognized traditions of American landscape art. Drawing on loans from institutions and private collections across the United States and Canada\, the exhibition offers one of the most significant explorations of early American girls’ artistic achievement ever assembled. \n“The American Folk Art Museum has long championed the creative achievements of American girls and young women\,” said Jason T. Busch\, the Museum’s Becky and Bob Alexander Director & CEO. “Since our founding\, the Museum has played a leading role in advancing the study and appreciation of these artworks through landmark exhibitions\, scholarship\, and publications led by pioneering figures in the field. As the nation commemorates its 250th anniversary\, Locating Girlhood offers a timely opportunity to look anew at these extraordinary objects and the layered histories they embody.” \n“This exhibition and the accompanying publication seek to shed new light on the rich yet underexplored genre of early American ‘schoolgirl’ art. Building on foundational scholarship that identified makers\, teachers\, and schools\, Locating Girlhood turns attention to broader questions of place\, identity\, and experience. We ask not only who created these works\, but why girls made them and what they reveal about their lives and worlds\,” added Emelie Gevalt\, PhD\, AFAM’s Deborah Davenport & Stewart Stender Deputy Director and Chief Curatorial and Program Officer. \nLocating Girlhood features nearly a hundred works drawn from AFAM’s collection in addition to more than two dozen institutions and private collections\, among them: Metropolitan Museum of Art\, Colonial Williamsburg\, Winterthur Museum\, Garden & Library\, the DAR Museum\, Northwestern University Libraries\, and the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History. Because of their fragility and sensitivity to light\, many of these works are rarely exhibited\, making this a unique opportunity to experience them firsthand. \nAdmission to the American Folk Art Museum is always free.

SUMMARY:Evren Ozel\, piano & Joshua Brown\, violin
DESCRIPTION:Photo Credit: Concert artists guild co-present & KAUFMAN MUSIC CENTER \nWhere Words End\nRecipients of the Avery Fisher Career Grant and many other international prizes\, pianist Evren Ozel and violinist Joshua Brown perform a program exploring the writer Marcel Proust’s assertion that music alone can access what language leaves unsaid. The works on the program bear a direct literary imprint: Chausson’s Poème translates a short story by Turgenev into musical form\, while Schumann’s Kreisleriana depicts E.T.A. Hoffmann’s fictional musician Johannes Kreisler. Debussy’s Preludes for piano include literature references from Baudelaire to Shakespeare and more. The movements from the F.A.E. Sonata and Ysaÿe’s Ballade\, meanwhile\, were inspired by their composers’ close friendships with poets and literary figures of their time. Finally\, perhaps the most remarkable connection on this program belongs to Fauré’s Violin Sonata and Proust. Through his In Search of Lost Time\, Proust immortalizes Fauré as the fictional composer Vinteuil\, whose violin sonata becomes a recurring symbol of longing and lost love. That a real piece of music could be so thoroughly absorbed into one of literature’s greatest novels speaks to exactly the kind of alchemy this program sets out to explore.

SUMMARY:Martha Graham: The Mother of Psychological Dance
DESCRIPTION:This centennial exhibition traces the arc of Martha Graham’s groundbreaking career\, centering her visionary approach to dance as psychological expression. Graham transformed the dancing body into a vessel for inner life\, using movement to externalize emotion\, memory\, and the unconscious. By putting the raw psychology of the individual and social collective on stage\, she redefined what movement could express—not just in dance\, but across all art forms. The show displays rarely seen archival materials from the Jerome Robbins Dance Division’s Martha Graham archive\, set pieces by Isamu Noguchi\, and costumes by Graham\, as well as offer insight into the genius and legacy of Graham and the dance company. \nBorn in 1894\, Martha Graham was an American modern dancer and choreographer. Initially proclaimed as a great dancer\, she started to fundamentally change the way dance looked and was perceived when she founded her Martha Graham Dance Company in 1926. \nToday\, she is often placed alongside artistic household names who significantly impacted their medium. She is recognized as “the mother of modern dance” in dance history not only from her choreographic masterworks\, but also her invention of a new and codified dance language. Her signature Graham technique\, now used by dance companies all over the world\, was the first of its kind that stood in contrast to classical ballet. \nCurated by choreographer\, writer\, and educator Jack Ferver\, the exhibition is part of the Martha Graham Dance Company’s centennial celebration. \nImage: Martha Graham and Company in “Act of Judgement\,” from “American Provincials\,” 1934. \nPhoto © Paul Hansen\, by permission of Vicki Quade.

SUMMARY:Locating Girlhood: Place and Identity in Early American “Schoolgirl” Art
DESCRIPTION: Photo Credit: American Folk Art Museum & Faith Trumbull (1743-1775)\, Needlework Picture\, Boston and Lebanon\, Connecticut\, 1754\, Silk\, mica\, and gouache on silk\, 23 1/8 x 54 in.\, Connecticut Museum of Culture and History\, Hartford\, 1974.99.0 \nThis fall\, the American Folk Art Museum presents Locating Girlhood: Place and Identity in Early American “Schoolgirl” Art\, a major exhibition bringing together works from across the field. Presented during the nation’s semiquincentennial\, Locating Girlhood reexamines the often-overlooked artistic production of girls and young women in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century America\, highlighting their sustained engagement with representations of place long before the emergence of more widely recognized traditions of American landscape art. Drawing on loans from institutions and private collections across the United States and Canada\, the exhibition offers one of the most significant explorations of early American girls’ artistic achievement ever assembled. \n“The American Folk Art Museum has long championed the creative achievements of American girls and young women\,” said Jason T. Busch\, the Museum’s Becky and Bob Alexander Director & CEO. “Since our founding\, the Museum has played a leading role in advancing the study and appreciation of these artworks through landmark exhibitions\, scholarship\, and publications led by pioneering figures in the field. As the nation commemorates its 250th anniversary\, Locating Girlhood offers a timely opportunity to look anew at these extraordinary objects and the layered histories they embody.” \n“This exhibition and the accompanying publication seek to shed new light on the rich yet underexplored genre of early American ‘schoolgirl’ art. Building on foundational scholarship that identified makers\, teachers\, and schools\, Locating Girlhood turns attention to broader questions of place\, identity\, and experience. We ask not only who created these works\, but why girls made them and what they reveal about their lives and worlds\,” added Emelie Gevalt\, PhD\, AFAM’s Deborah Davenport & Stewart Stender Deputy Director and Chief Curatorial and Program Officer. \nLocating Girlhood features nearly a hundred works drawn from AFAM’s collection in addition to more than two dozen institutions and private collections\, among them: Metropolitan Museum of Art\, Colonial Williamsburg\, Winterthur Museum\, Garden & Library\, the DAR Museum\, Northwestern University Libraries\, and the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History. Because of their fragility and sensitivity to light\, many of these works are rarely exhibited\, making this a unique opportunity to experience them firsthand. \nAdmission to the American Folk Art Museum is always free.

SUMMARY:Martha Graham: The Mother of Psychological Dance
DESCRIPTION:This centennial exhibition traces the arc of Martha Graham’s groundbreaking career\, centering her visionary approach to dance as psychological expression. Graham transformed the dancing body into a vessel for inner life\, using movement to externalize emotion\, memory\, and the unconscious. By putting the raw psychology of the individual and social collective on stage\, she redefined what movement could express—not just in dance\, but across all art forms. The show displays rarely seen archival materials from the Jerome Robbins Dance Division’s Martha Graham archive\, set pieces by Isamu Noguchi\, and costumes by Graham\, as well as offer insight into the genius and legacy of Graham and the dance company. \nBorn in 1894\, Martha Graham was an American modern dancer and choreographer. Initially proclaimed as a great dancer\, she started to fundamentally change the way dance looked and was perceived when she founded her Martha Graham Dance Company in 1926. \nToday\, she is often placed alongside artistic household names who significantly impacted their medium. She is recognized as “the mother of modern dance” in dance history not only from her choreographic masterworks\, but also her invention of a new and codified dance language. Her signature Graham technique\, now used by dance companies all over the world\, was the first of its kind that stood in contrast to classical ballet. \nCurated by choreographer\, writer\, and educator Jack Ferver\, the exhibition is part of the Martha Graham Dance Company’s centennial celebration. \nImage: Martha Graham and Company in “Act of Judgement\,” from “American Provincials\,” 1934. \nPhoto © Paul Hansen\, by permission of Vicki Quade.
