In conjunction with SVAC’s Women Take Wilson exhibition series, a special exhibition The Women of SVAC is on view in Gallery One at Yester House. This exhibition, drawn from SVAC’s permanent collection, features artwork from many of the women artists whose affiliation with SVAC dates back to our founding. Featured artists include: Elfriede Abbe, Felicia Meyer, Elsa Bley, Clara Sipprell, Bernadine Custer Sharp, Mary S. Powers, Louise Ryals Arkell, and Katherine McCabe. Executive Director Anne Corso says, “the women artists so integral to SVAC’s history are often not household names, but their talents are extraordinary. I am pleased to be able to share their work and their stories with our members and visitors.”
