The Center for Research on Gender and Women at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is hosting an exhibition of altered and handmade aprons from May 12th to August 6th.
According to the Center’s website, “The exhibit, organized by the Finlandia Young Women’s Caucus (YWC), is titled “The Apron Show.” It is centered on the idea that aprons have a long history of association with women. The YWC and the Center hope the exhibit will prompt viewers to reflect on their own personal history and memories associated with aprons – and the women in their lives who wore them.”
Admission to the exhibition is free, but opening hours are somewhat limited: 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesdays.
The Center for Research on Gender and Women is located on the first floor of Ingraham Hall on the UW-Madison campus at 1155 Observatory Drive.
If you are unable to visit the exhibition, you may wish to view the collection of photos of it on the Young Women’s Caucus online Picassa gallery.
