On display now through Aug. 29, “Women of Courage” is an exhibition that depicts the stories of women from diverse backgrounds who display courage through activism, the arts, science, politics and in everyday acts. In tandem with the exhibition, several events are being held to enhance viewers’ reflections on the impacts of women’s leadership and how their own lives have been touched by the courage of women. The next event is Piecing It Together, a collage workshop that invites teens to pick one of the women from the exhibition or women in their own lives to make an artwork of. Registration is required for this event. Future dates include readings of picture books about the women in the exhibition on Aug. 1 at 11 a.m., a panel discussion with several of the exhibited artists on Aug. 17 at 4 p.m. and a charcoal portrait drawing workshop on Aug. 24 at 4 p.m., for which registration is also required.
