Just in time for the 2020 election, the Mennello Museum of American Art is hosting the Smithsonian’s traveling and virtual exhibition Votes for Women: A Portrait Of Persistence.
Starting on Wednesday, Oct. 14, and running through Election Day on Nov. 3, this poster exhibition will be open for free viewing on the Mennello’s front porch during business hours, or for round-the-clock eyes virtually.
Based on the National Portrait Gallery’s larger exhibition, Votes for Women is a visual survey of the women’s suffrage moment in the United States, a still-striking collection of photos and historical documents
On the 100th anniversary of the Nineteenth Amendment that guaranteed women the right to vote – and an election year where voter disenfranchisement is all too real – it’s worth looking back to look forward.
