To mark St. Brigid's Day, which honors the female patron saint of Ireland, we're joining with the Consulate General of Ireland in Miami to host a spirited evening celebrating Irish women and the arts, and formally launching our latest exhibition, Harry Clarke and the Geneva Window. Drawing from the show's centerpiece, a famous work in stained glass by one of Ireland's greatest modern artists, Irish Studies scholar Dr. Kelly Sullivan will consider the significant role of female figures in Clarke's window and contextualize the commission alongside his other stained glass and illustrations. Following the talk, enjoy a reception and a musical performance by Ailbhe Reddy, a talented singer-songwriter from Ireland who has just released her second album, Endless Affair.

Co-hosted with the Consulate General of Ireland in Miami.
