Photo Gallery #3 – Katelyn Westervelt

Hi everyone! Yesterday, June 16, I went down to Ridgefield, CT to visit The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum. I took my mom for a second time because she had the day off from teaching and had heard a lot of good things about the museum. It is located on a beautiful property, and had so many interesting things to offer that I will dig more deep into in my paper. Below is an assortment of photographs from the museum visit, all within the same exhibition they have going on currently called "52 Artists: A Feminist Milestone". This was an exhibition that is very much up my and my mom's alley since for as long as I can remember she has been a proud and strong feminist who has taught me to believe and fight for equality. I hope you're all able to make it to this museum while this exhibition is going on, because it truly is one that is important to be around.
