We are thrilled to welcome students from the #illustration program at the University of the Arts who will be taking part in pop-up tours of our N. C. Wyeth Studio this month. By having these @uartsschoolofdesign students working in the N. C. Wyeth Studio, we are animating this National Historic Landmark, which served as a place of creativity for decades. Join us on an N. C. Wyeth House & Studio Tour to speak with the student artists about current instruction and contemporary careers in the field of illustration. Tours are available select times on Wednesdays, Thursdays & Fridays, May 15â31, 2019. Visit the link in our profile for more information.

Also, congratulations to Tilda Rose, one of the students who joined us for these tours last year. Tilda was just recognized with the Presidentâs Award at graduation. Tilda is featured in the final image as a part of last yearâs tours.
We canât wait to see what these extraordinary young artists do next! .

For the first day of #MuseumWeek we are honoring #WomenInCulture. The year 2020 marks the centennial anniversary of the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, granting women the right to voteâalthough many voting struggles persisted for minority groups. To celebrate this anniversary the Brandywine River Museum of Art will present the exhibition Votes for Women: A Visual History, opening in February 2020. In the following narrative, go behind-the-scenes with Brandywine curator Amanda C. Burdan, Ph.D., as she unpacks artifacts and delves into her vision, process and the making of this exciting exhibition-in-progress. Read more in our latest #blog at the link in our profile!
