Coming of Age: Woman Growing Older in American Art presents a sensitive and expansive vision of womanhood in the United States. Together, the works in this exhibition demonstrate the ways that ageism both targets and overlooks women, while celebrating the intersectionality of aging—a natural, inevitable part of life—in American art. This show is organized by Wichita Art Museum’s Sarachek Curatorial Fellow for Wiggins Studies, Mary Frances Ivey.
