- WHEN:
- Saturday Mar. 3 - Sunday Jul. 8
- WHERE:
- Phippen Museum - Prescott
- Category:
- Fine Art
DESCRIPTION
To celebrate Arizona’s Centennial and National Women’s Month this opening exhibit 2012 will represent a broad overview of artwork by well-listed women artists who lived and worked in Arizona during the first half of the 20th Century. These women artists have been chosen for this exhibition, based on the fact that all were classically-trained in the finest art schools of their day, all lived and worked in Arizona, and earned their living in the arts. All taught art, wrote about art, illustrated books, and were well respected during their lifetimes but public and historical notice eluded women of that era. All these women made Arizona their home; Kate Cory, Claire Dooner-Phillips and Lillian Wilhelm Smith lived the remainder of their lives in Prescott, Arizona.
Early Women Artists has been designated an official Centennial Legacy Project by the Arizona Historical Advisory Commission.
Preview and reception on March 2.

DESCRIPTION
The first annual Memorial Day Show was presented at the Prescott Public Library in 1974, featuring the finest of western sculptors and painters. For ten years, this show was the only financial means of the Foundation.
In the early 80s the James Family Trust donated a parcel of land to the Foundation to begin the construction of the building for the future Phippen Museum. With the funds from the Memorial Day Shows and this generous gift, the Phippen Museum was able to open its doors to the public on October 13, 1984.
