Celebrating Artists Who Are Women

First Saturdays of the month are for art fun! Stop by for gallery activities, special presentations, and creative exploration designed for all ages.  The Joslyn marks Women’s History Month with a look at the numerous contributions of artists who are women, in the fields of visual arts, literature, and music. Our VIP Visitors* this month are Girls Incorporated of Omaha and Identity Preparatory Academy.

A look at the fun this month from 11 am–2 pm: 

Begin at our Welcome Table in the Hawks Pavilion! Pick up a program and map for the day. We can let you know about membership opportunities, upcoming programs, our Bloomberg Connects digital guide, and Art Card self-guide resources. We also can help with any accessibility needs.  
Out & About Storytime with Omaha Public Library, 11 am.
Performance by Desi Danze Divas, featuring Indian celebration dances.
In the studio, create your own work of art.
Check out our Art Cart station, with opportunities to touch hands-on materials, try on a few fancy coats and vests, and talk about art with our friendly Gallery Volunteers. 
Drop-In Sketching! We have all the materials you need for sketching—a great way to slow down and look carefully at what you see.    
Join a public tour, led by our Gallery Volunteers; 11 am, Dripping Earth: Cannupa Hanska Luger; and at 1 pm, The Joslyn’s Highlights. Free, drop-in experiences.
The Founder’s Room is designated as a quiet space for this event.
