The support of the Women of Influence Circle enables the Museum to:
host community organizations that help women (shelters, services for women in difficulty or experiencing homelessness, and organizations that support single parents, among others); promote the work of women artists through exhibitions like Joyce Wieland: Heart On and Françoise Sullivan: “I let rhythms flow”; present projects that highlight women’s contribution to art history, such as Spotlight: Women Artists in the Early Modern European Art Collection and the exhibitions Berthe Weill, Art Dealer of the Parisian Avant-garde and Bad Girls Only: Women and the Seven Deadly Sins.
