More stuff going on this week…

art

This is a project so big it took three venues to exhibit it: "Picturing Women," a 200-work show covering five centuries and several media, examines the way women have been portrayed in portraits, photographs and stories over the years, and the way cultural and societal changes have affected those characterizations. Portraits, installations, medical documents, costumes, advertisements and more tell the story. See it at Bryn Mawr College, the Library Company of Philadelphia and the Rosenbach Museum and Library. Jan. 23-May 30 at the three venues. Visit www.picturingwomen.org or call Bryn Mawr (610-526-6576), the Library Company (215-546-3181) or the Rosenbach (215-732-1600) for more information about exhibition-related symposium and public events.

Jan. 27-Feb. 13, Moore College of Art & Design, 20th Street and the Parkway, 215-546-7775.
