Voices: Women Artists in the Era of Second Wave Feminism

August 9, 2022 – December 16, 2023

The fight for suffrage propelled the first wave feminism of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. During the 1960s and 1970s, a new generation of women took up the fight for equality. Their demands centered on reproductive rights and the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment. Works by women artists in the museum’s permanent collection offer insights into the voices from this second wave of feminism. Among the artists featured in the exhibition are Lee Krasner, Louise Nevelson, Jenny Holzer, and Shirley Smith.

Explore the New Online Collection Search System

Posted on by jharlan

The Beach Museum of Art website now features a new, online collection search page powered by eMuseum from Gallery Systems. In 2020, registrars Sarah Price and Theresa Ketterer began the ambitious task of transitioning the museum’s collections database and online search system over to TMS Collections and eMuseum. The painstaking process meant overseeing the transfer of more than 11,000 works of art in the museum’s permanent collection. With the newly launched portal, users may easily search for pieces by selecting from a menu of categories such as Paintings, as shown below. The system provides access to more images and information than before and allows users to save and share favorites on a range of devices. Explore this exciting new resource at: https://beach.emuseum.com/collections!
