A writing workshop led by Jennifer Browdy, PhD with artist Anita Kunz 

Artist Anita Kunz described her series “Original Sisters: Portraits of Tenacity and Courage” as “a love story.” It’s a thank you to women on whose shoulders I stand.” Following the artist’s lead, Jennifer Browdy will lead a writing workshop in honor of International Women’s Day, inviting participants to write letters of love and gratitude to women who have inspired them, whether historical figures such as those included in the exhibition, or personal “sheroes” who have had a positive impact on their lives. Free with museum admission and open to all.
