What better way to celebrate the lush imagery of spring than to explore the art galleries in Seattle. We will meet weekly at local galleries to hear talks, ask questions, and peruse the space. Following each visit, we will gather for afternoon tea or coffee to discuss the art and share interests. A sampling of galleries includes Greg Kucera, Foster/White, Stonington, ArtX Contemporary, Gray Sky, Harris Harvey, Steinbrueck Native Gallery, and SAM Gallery. Whether you are a seasoned gallery visitor or a newcomer, you are welcome to take part in this harbinger of spring as you experience the Seattle art scene.

In a 1951 Greenwich Village avant-garde art exhibit, five formidable artists emerged: Lee Krasner, Grace Hartigan, Elaine de Kooning, Joan Mitchell, and Helen Frankenthaler. In her book Ninth Street Women, Mary Gabriel tells their remarkable stories with electrifying truth, candor, and a fresh perspective. Individually and collectively they helped define the Abstract Expressionist movement and challenged societal norms with a new doctrine of liberation. We will examine their art, engage with their stories, and learn how their experiences inspired future generations of women artists. As such, these five women revolutionized the modern art world in postwar America. The legacy of the Ninth Street Women reminds us that art is more than just aesthetics. It is about breaking barriers and creating new paths for others to follow.
