Denver Art Museum | Gender & Voice in Japanese Art Hybrid Symposium

The Denver Art Museum is pleased to host a one-day international symposium in conjunction with the exhibition, Her Brush: Japanese Women Artists from the Fong-Johnstone Collection. Scholars and specialists from various disciplines will add to the discourse on approaches and methodologies in the study, connoisseurship, and exhibition of Japanese art through the lens of gender, agency, and artistic voice.

This event is fully supported by the generous gift of The William Sharpless Jackson, Jr. Endowment for the Advancement of Asian Art and Culture.

The symposium will be conducted in person in Sturm Grand Pavilion (Martin Building, Level 2) as well as virtually via Zoom. It is free to attend but registration is required.
