Inspired by art collector and summer resident Marcella Garber Polisar Katz, this new exhibit highlights the museum’s collection of paintings, prints and other works on paper by women artists of Woods Hole. The 24 featured artists include Maria Denny Fay (1820-1890), Peggy Clark Kelley (1915-1996), Mary Mavor (1925-2005) and Joan Kanwisher (1924-2019). The exhibit also includes a color illustration by Julie Child from her recent donation of more than 500 works to the museum.
