This Member Morning, we’re excited to welcome Professor Brynjolson from Minnesota State University Moorhead (MSUM). Professor Brynjolson joins us in connection with a special collaboration — some of her students have written the didactics and labels for works featured in our new exhibition, Women Artists: Four Centuries of Creativity.

This newly opened exhibition celebrates four centuries of artistic achievement by remarkable women who, despite persistent gender bias, forged paths into art history. For much of history, women were denied formal training, excluded from exhibitions, and dismissed as amateurs. Their work was often relegated to “crafts” such as textiles or decorative arts, rather than recognized as “fine art.” Even those who achieved success were said to have “overcome” their gender to do so. Only with the equal rights and feminist movements of the 1960s did women gain widespread access to study, teach, and create freely across the United States and Europe.

Professor Brynjolson’s research explores modern and contemporary art, focusing on long-term public art projects that address housing and urban development. She serves on the editorial collective of FIELD: A Journal of Socially Engaged Art Criticism, and her writing has appeared in FIELD, Akimbo, Geist, Craft Journal, and several edited volumes. Professor Brynjolson earned her BA from the University of Winnipeg, MA from Concordia University in Montreal, and PhD from UC San Diego — all in art history. Before joining MSUM’s School of Art, she was Assistant Professor of Art History at the University of Indianapolis.

Members and donors are invited to enjoy early gallery access with complimentary coffee and pastries.
A guided tour of Women Artists: Four Centuries of Creativity will begin at 8:30 AM.

We look forward to seeing you there!
