SUMMARY:Postponed - Mary Lesneski Memorial Lecture and Reception
DESCRIPTION:This event was temporarily postponed. We will be sure to post the new date and time when it is confirmed. \nArt and Reform: The Saturday Evening Girls\nThe Saturday Evening Girls take center stage at this year’s annual Mary Lesneski Memorial Lecture and Reception.  Young immigrant women\, living in the tenements of the North End in early 20th century Boston\, gathered weekly to create colorful and often lyrical ceramics under the enterprise Paul Revere Pottery.  The wares were sold to fund the young women’s informal education\, at a time when there was a void in social and educational opportunities for girls.  The pieces produced by Paul Revere Pottery are now extremely valuable and cherished by Museums and private collectors across the country.  Hear about the women who\, inspired by the patriot and entrepreneur\, took Paul Revere’s legend into their own hands – literally – and formed ceramic wares appreciated for posterity. \n  \nNonie Gadsden is the Katharine Lane Weems Senior Curator of American Decorative Arts and Sculpture at the Museum \nof Fine Arts\, Boston (MFA). She earned her B.A. from Yale College and her M.A. from the Winterthur Program in Early American Culture at the University of Delaware.
