Private Gallery Night: The Women Who Shaped American Art

Thu, Dec 3, 11:00 PM

What if the story of American art were told through **the women who helped create it?** **[Advance Purchase Required here](https://luma.com/TheWomenWhoShapedAmericanArt)** Join Women of Culture for a **private reception & walk-through at Lincoln Glenn Gallery** exploring ***[250 Years: American Women Artists and the Nation’s Story](https://www.lincolnglenn.com/exhibitions/48-250-years-american-women-artists-and-the-nation-s/overview/?utm_source=luma)*** — an exhibition that brings overlooked voices back into the spotlight and invites us to see American history from a different perspective. Spanning the Revolutionary era through today, the exhibition brings together work from **every decade of the nation’s history**, revealing generations of women who created, experimented, and built remarkable careers even when the art world offered them far fewer opportunities for recognition. We’ll travel through **250 years of creativity** — from intimate early portraits and sweeping landscapes to Impressionism, Modernism, abstraction, sculpture, and contemporary art — encountering both familiar names and fascinating artists whose stories deserve to be rediscovered. Among them are **Mary Cassatt, Sarah Miriam Peale, Ida Ten Eyck O’Keeffe, Mercedes Matter, Lee Bontecou, Harmony Hammond, Lynda Benglis, Teruko Yokoi**, and many more. Over the course of the evening, we’ll have the chance to slow down with the work, exchange perspectives, and connect with fellow culturally curious women in the intimate setting of the gallery. Come raise a glass to the women who created, challenged, experimented — and left their mark on American art, whether history remembered their names or not. **Event details:** **Rescheduled to:** Thursday, December 3rd **Time**: 6:00–8:00 PM **Location:** Lincoln Glenn Gallery Upper East Side [17 East 67th Street, Suite 1A](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Lincoln+Glenn/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0xdfaf0e87db2329b2?sa=X&ved=1t%3A2428&ictx=111&utm_source=luma) *** **[Advance Purchase Required here](https://luma.com/TheWomenWhoShapedAmericanArt)** **Tickets:** * **Non-Members:** $10 First Release \| $15 Full Price * **Art-full Basic Members:** $5 First Release \| $10 Full Price * **Art-full Premier Members:** FREE Art-full premier members receive an additional 20% off.

[Which art style are you? Vote and see who shares your lane.](https://app.favr.town/polls/s_378XeL85R4csGQ?r=@lovemaze) Our preferences in art reveal more about us than we often realize. Long before personality traits were formally categorized, psychologists studied personality differences through individuals' ratings of various paintings. If you find yourself drawn to the same piece of artwork, there's a strong chance you share a deep connection. Meet in the museum for an excursion. Sign up on [favr.town](https://favr.town/) and predict your next art buddy before you meet. Find out if you're right when you meet onsite. Or, if you fancy other museums, pin them at times that work for you on [favr.town](https://favr.town/) and discover who you might meet there. Note: This is a [Favr.town](http://favr.town/) member exclusive event. [Join](https://favr.town/events/meet-and-shop-trader-joes-trader-joes-2026-06-15-17-00) [[https://favr.town](https://favr.town/) ] Hint: Fans of abstract art tend to be creative, pop art lovers are often optimistic, impressionism enthusiasts are more likely to be conscientious, and those who prefer traditional art tend to be, well, more traditional. Something extra: Why do these traits matter?

Art, Love & Legacy: Private tour of Krasner & Pollock + Brunch

Sat, Nov 14, 5:00 PM

From The Art of Photography - NYC

Two extraordinary artists. One complicated creative partnership. A rare opportunity to see their stories side by side. **[Advance Purchase Required here](https://luma.com/KrasnerandPollockatmet)** Join us on **Saturday, November 14th** for an **[Art-full members-only](https://womenofculture.org/artfull-membership?utm_source=luma)** afternoon at **The Metropolitan Museum of Art**, where we’ll experience the highly anticipated[ ](https://www.metmuseum.org/exhibitions/krasner-and-pollock-past-continuous?utm_source=luma)***[Krasner and Pollock: Past Continuous](https://www.metmuseum.org/exhibitions/krasner-and-pollock-past-continuous?utm_source=luma)*** through an intimate, privately guided tour—preceded by an optional brunch at[ ](https://www.themarkrestaurantnyc.com/?utm_source=luma)**[The Mark Restaurant by Jean-Georges](https://www.themarkrestaurantnyc.com/?utm_source=luma)**. Bringing together more than **120 works**, the exhibition offers a fascinating new perspective on **Lee Krasner** and **Jackson Pollock**, moving beyond their famous marriage to reveal two ambitious artists constantly experimenting, evolving, and responding to the changing world around them. Pollock’s revolutionary approach made him an icon of Abstract Expressionism, while Krasner forged a compelling—and remarkably resilient—artistic path of her own. Seen together, their paintings, drawings and collages reveal unexpected connections, creative tensions and striking differences, while giving Krasner’s work the space and attention it has long deserved. With crowd favorite **Helen Lee** leading the conversation, we’ll go beyond the gallery labels to uncover the influences, turning points and artistic choices behind the work. Expect fresh perspectives, deeper context and plenty to discuss long after we leave the galleries. For those joining the full experience, we’ll begin over brunch at[ ](https://www.themarkrestaurantnyc.com/?utm_source=luma)**[The Mark Restaurant by Jean-Georges](https://www.themarkrestaurantnyc.com/?utm_source=luma)**, an elegant Upper East Side setting just moments from the museum—giving us time to connect, catch up and ease into an art-filled afternoon together. **Why you’ll love this:** * 🎨 Experience a major exhibition bringing **Krasner and Pollock** into conversation through more than 120 works * ✨ Go beyond the gallery labels with the insight and context of a **private expert guide** * 💗 Discover a fuller picture of **Lee Krasner’s powerful artistic legacy** beyond her relationship with Pollock * 🥂 Make a day of it with **brunch, art and great company** on the Upper East Side **Full** **Schedule** **12:00 PM \|** Brunch at[ The Mark Restaurant by Jean-Georges](https://www.themarkrestaurantnyc.com/?utm_source=luma) 25 E 77th St **1:50 PM \|** Meet for **2pm** Private Guided Tour The Metropolitan Museum of Art \| 1000 Fifth Avenue _____ **[Advance Purchase Required here](https://luma.com/KrasnerandPollockatmet)** **Tickets for** **Art-full Members**\* **Museum/Tour Only:** $75 first release \| $80 full price **Full Experience with Brunch:** $125 first release \| $130 full price \*\*Premier members receive an additional 20% off.
