A new exhibit featuring work by Adrienne Ottenberg opens at the Museum of Eldridge on Sunday, Dec. 3rd at 3pm. On the Lower East Side: Twenty-Eight Remarkable Women…and One Scoundrel is centered around women who lived or worked in the neighborhood at the turn of the twentieth century.
The museum writes: “The figures depicted in the exhibit were responsible for groundbreaking developments in law, the arts, politics, social work, business, and education which we take for granted today, such as the eight-hour workday, child labor regulations, and women’s rights.”
“Among the twenty-nine women featured are bathhouse owner and entrepreneur Gittel Nadelson, political activist Frances Perkins, public healthcare champion Elizabeth Tyler, and dedicated suffragette Dr. Mabel Ping-Hua Lee. Through Ottenberg’s map-based works, iconic women reach out to us through time, shaping society today and cementing their places in New York history.”
This exhibition will be accompanied by an audio guide available through Bloomberg Connects.
Ticket: Free and open to the public. Advance registration is preferred. Learn more here.
The opening includes an informal talk with the artist.
