The Northport Arts Coalition, in cooperation with the Library, presents a fascinating look at women and the American flag with art historian Trudie Grace. This slide-illustrated talk examines depictions of women with the flag or wearing flag-inspired outfits in prints, posters, sheet music covers, postcards, magazine illustrations, and advertisements from the Civil War through World War II. Ms. Grace will also examine the connections between women and flag imagery and the changing role of women in society. Trudie Grace is the curator of the Putnam County Historical Society and Foundry School Museum in Cold Spring, New York, and is an adjunct assistant professor in art history at the Fashion Institute of Technology. This program is made possible through the support of the New York Council for the Humanities’ Speakers in the Humanities program. No registration required.
