Look at the many faces of the women of the Cornish Colony at the left side of this page.
 


Can you spot a Pulitzer Prize winner?

An artist whose works sell in the millions?

One of the most successful women sculptors in American history?

An inspirational writer whose works are still in print?

An First Lady and also an accomplished artist?

A local actress who was the first woman to appear on the cover of Time Magazine?


If not, then perhaps you should plan on visiting the Cornish Colony Museum sometime this summer and see and learn about the many accomplishments of the women artists, sculptors, writers, and actresses of this area.



Also be sure to SAVE THE DATE of June 24th for our acclaimed one-day seminar on the works of famous women artists and sculptors of the area.





The exhibition opens May 23rd, and will run through Saturday, October 24, 2009

The emphasis of this summer's exhibit will be the bronze sculptures of the most famous of the women sculptors of the Cornish Colony area. More details are to be found on our Exhibitions page (or see the tab above).



Also come and see our display of Maxfield Parrish original paintings. The museum has an entire room dedicated to the works of the Cornish Colony's most famous painter. Once again the museum expects to have more Parrish originals on display of any museum in the country.
