July 20 - October 28, 2007
In a unique collaboration, the Minnesota Historical Society (MHS) and the Minnesota Museum of American Art (MMAA) join forces to present In Her Own Right: Minnesota’s First Generation of Women Artists. Presented in the galleries of MMAA on Kellogg Blvd, the exhibition showcases more than 75 works by five important Minnesota artists, Frances Cranmer Greenman, Alice Hügy, Clara Mairs, Josephine Lutz Rollins and Ada Wolfe. All born before 1900, these artists enjoyed lengthy careers, some lasting many decades, and contributed greatly to the history of art making in Minnesota.
