DIVERSE ARTS LECTURES TO BE OFFERED ON NOV. 21 On Thursday, Nov. 21, two lectures will be offered — one in Venice and one in Sarasota — about arts topics. The first, The Gender of Modernism: The Women Who Opened Modern Art Museums in America, will focus on the Suffragettes, "women working for a better America," a news release says. "To them, modern artists represented modern ideas — new ways to see the world; new ways to solve and resolve problems," the release notes. They made art; they bought art; and they created public venues to introduce the American public to Modernism, the release adds. "Abstract art to them was a liberation — an ideology that represented freedom of thinking." The program will be presented from 2 to 3 p.m. at Jacaranda Trace, located at 3600 William Penn Way in Venice. Tickets are $10 at the door. Suffragettes are credited with opening modern art museums in the United States. Contributed photo
