Ideally, we wouldn’t need lectures about women artists, or artists of color, or artists from different cultures and sexual orientations. Ideally, they would be just artists of excellence. But until this ideal is reached, there is value in focusing on select female artists of the Impressionist, German Expressionist, and Abstract Expressionist movements, as well as African American and indigenous artists from the Americas and Aboriginal Australia, who were often overshadowed by their male or white counterparts. This class is presented by Cornelia Feye. Feye’s previous lecture series on female artists included Latin American and Asian artists; in this series we are focusing on European, American, African American and indigenous women. The Female Artists Lecture by Cornelia Feye will take place on Tuesdays, October 19, 26, November 2, 9, and 16, 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 7 p.m. Full schedule: October 19: Women Artists of Impressionism in Paris October 26: German Expressionist Women Artists November 2: Abstract Expressionist Women Artists in New York November 9: African American Female Artists November 16: Indigenous Female Artists Location | Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, La Jolla Register here!

Athenaeum Music & Arts Library
The Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, located in the heart of La Jolla, Calif., in San Diego County, is one of only 16 nonprofit membership libraries in the United States. This rare cultural institution, an important one to the greater San Diego area, offers a depth and accessibility of resources and programs found nowhere else in the region. The library, devoted exclusively to music and art, has an outstanding and ever-expanding collection of books, periodicals, reference material, compact discs, videocassettes, DVDs, sheet music and librettos, as well as one of the most significant collections of artists' books in Southern California. The library is open to the public five days a week and members can check out materials for a modest annual fee. The Athenaeum also presents an eclectic, year-round schedule of art exhibitions, concerts (classical, jazz and new music), lectures, studio art classes through its School of the Arts, tours and special events. To quote the San Diego Union-Tribune, "There are few libraries in America as unusual as the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library." Admission: Admission to the library is free. Gallery exhibits are free and open to the general public. Materials may be used in the library or checked out by members. Borrowing privileges are limited to members only. Books may be checked out for four weeks and all CDs, videos and DVDs for two weeks. Materials may be reserved in advance. Guided Tours: Free guided tours take place the third Saturday of every month at 11 a.m.
