Women Collared for Work

February 6, 2010 – March 21, 2010

Women Collared for Work, part of the Museum’s Outlooks exhibition series, explores the well-known contributions and anonymous stories of women through 100 years of history—1889 through 1989. Guest Curator Judith Schwab uses “collar” as a metaphor for the restraint, inspiration, and innovation of powerful female icons representing a range of occupations. This exhibition, which includes assemblage, painting, and wall relief, pays homage to these women and their accomplishments.

Included in the exhibition is work by Margo Allman, Bernice Davidson, Maria Keane, Rosemary Lane, Judith Schwab, Wilma Bulkin Siegel, Ann Stein, and Deborah Stelling.

The Delaware Art Museum’s Outlooks Exhibition Series encourages community involvement in the creation of exhibitions that will be hosted by the Museum. The Delaware Art Museum accepts proposals for Outlooks exhibitions from organizations, community groups, and residents of our surrounding area, contributing to the Museum’s mission of providing an inclusive and essential community resource.

All Outlooks exhibitions are displayed in the Ammon Galleries on the Museum’s second floor.
