    Join us at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for LBT Women's Night (part of our Art & Cocktails Series)!

    From 6-7:00 pm we will mix and mingle and listen to a short talk prepared just for us by Harold Koda, Curator in Charge (The Costume Institute) about American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity. At about 7 pm we will head upstairs to the 2nd Floor to view The Costume Institute exhibition:

    At about 7PM we will head upstairs to the 2nd floor and view
    American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity
    Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Exhibition Hall, 2nd floor (next to the Cantor Sculpture Gallery)

    American Woman is the first exhibit from the newly established Brooklyn Museum Costume Collection at the Met. It will explore developing perceptions of the modern American woman from 1890 to 1940. The exhibition will reveal how the American woman initiated style revolutions that mirrored her social, political, and sexual emancipation. View "Gibson Girls," "Bohemians," and "Screen Sirens," among others, and how they lay the foundation for today's American woman.

    Afterwards, we will take the elevator or stairs to the 1st floor-- perhaps viewing American Art: 1902-1945 and the artwork of Georgia O'Keefe -- en route to the Petrie Court Cafe and Wine Bar for cocktails, food and conversation. (Note the Met will have extra staff on hand for our group).

    Yale GALA and FFR/Princeton BTGALA are hosting. We invite all of our Ivy League, Seven Sisters, NYU, Stanford, Duke, UVA, Georgetown, Northwestern, Amherst, USC & Emory friends. Alumni, faculty, staff, & students 21+ welcome.
