It should come as no surprise that California’s art scene in the 19th and early 20th centuries was a little more progressive than our East Coast and European counterparts and allowed women to participate in salons they were excluded from in other places. Chapman’s Hilbert Museum celebrates this legacy with a new exhibit about the women of California’s art clubs, including works by Elsie Palmer Payne, Elanor Colburn, Henrietta Berk, Mabel Alvarez, Betye Saar, Burr Singer, Ruth Peabody, Patssi Valdez, Agnes Pelton and more.
