The staff at the Conway Public Library is pleased to announce that they will be hosting a new lecture each month virtually, through June 2021. All are made possible by grants from the New Hampshire Humanities. Coming up on Monday, Nov. 30, at 6:30 p.m. is “Fierce Females: Women in Art,” presented by Jane Oneail.

Women have long been the subject of art, often depicted as nothing more than objects of desire. How do images of women change when women become the creators? This program examines the history of women in art in brief and then explores the lives, careers and works of several major women artists from the Renaissance to the 20th century. Artemisia Gentileschi, Mary Cassatt and Frida Kahlo are some of the artists discussed in this program.
