In celebration, Nicole Knibb, Education Coordinator at McMaster’s Museum of Art, is presenting a talk, “Women and Art: A HerStory” at a CAW Local 555 luncheon. This lively presentation will offer lots of art images of the work of women artists through the centuries and reveal the challenges they have had to overcome to become a vibrant part of art and the culture of our times. We are delighted by the response to this CAW 555 Women’s Committee event.
