NORFOLK, VA.- This spring, as the Commonwealth of
Virginia celebrates the role of women in the arts through the
statewide
initiative, MINDS WIDE OPEN, the Chrysler Museum does the same
with Women
of the Chrysler: A 400-Year Celebration of the Arts, an
extraordinary new
exhibition dedicated to the works of women artists – all of them
drawn
from our permanent collection. The exhibition traces the
course
of women’s ever-expanding contributions to the arts in Europe,
America,
and eventually the world through four chronological sections and
three
centerpiece installations, which are on view from March 24 to July
18.
