Group 6 Presentation Summary: Centennial Exhibition

Group 6 decided to do a skit for our presentation. The skit revolved around the Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition of 1876, the first big outlet for female artists to exhibit and represent their work. Because most of the female artists that decided to exhibit were amateurs, and the segregation that existed between male and female's works, the classroom (exhibition) was set up with many male painting printouts, with the female painting printouts in a corner outside of immediate view. Additionally, at the entrance of the the classroom as classmates would start filing in, one of us would hand out a "catalogue" that in fact contained a Guerrila Girls Document (linked) that detailed how female artists were treated during the Impressionism era.

The skit consisted of four characters: an unsympathetic conservative male that looks down upon female artists, a male sympathetic to the female artists' plight (although still having a bias towards women), Mary Cassatt, and Berthe Morisot. The skit consists of how these four characters interact with each other, and with the guests. The skit is linked below.
