SUMMARY:"Brilliant Exiles: American Women in Paris\, 1900-1939" @ Speed Art Museum (multiple dates\, March 29-June 22)
DESCRIPTION:MARCH 29 – JUNE 22\, 2025\n3rd Floor\, North Building\nVenue Curator: Erika Holmquist-Wall \nBuy Tickets \nDuring the early twentieth century\, Paris was the destination of choice for talented and independent American women determined to move beyond the limitations that restricted them at home. Drawn by a strong desire for independence\, they crossed the Atlantic to pursue personal and professional ambitions in a city viewed as the epicenter of modernity. Brilliant Exiles: American Women in Paris\, 1900-1939 recaptures the experiences of these unorthodox women who found in Paris the freedom to blaze new trails in a variety of fields\, including art\, literature\, design\, publishing\, music\, fashion\, journalism\, theater\, and dance. As foreigners in a cosmopolitan city\, they escaped the societal expectations and constraints of both the United States and France. Many used their newfound liberty as an opportunity for self-reinvention and discovery. \nPortraiture provides a revealing lens through which to view the cultural shifts American women helped instigate in Paris. Their defiance of social\, professional\, and gender norms rendered conventional modes of female portraiture obsolete. Brilliant Exiles highlights the dynamic role of portraiture in articulating the refashioned sense of self and the new conceptions of modern female identity that resulted from the interventions of American women in Parisian life. \nDespite significant differences in their circumstances\, the women in this exhibition shared many experiences and points of contact. Featuring over 85 artworks across various media and accompanied by a comprehensive catalogue\, Brilliant Exiles visually graphs the social and creative networks and points of intersection that linked these various groups\, with an emphasis on sites of sociability and production that were overseen by women. Through vivid portraits and compelling biographies\, the catalogue and exhibition recover a history that will be unfamiliar to many museum visitors\, revealing the impact that American Women had on modernist Paris\, as well as the city’s transformative effect on these brilliant exiles from the United States. \n  \nThis exhibition has been organized by the National Portrait Gallery and received Federal support from the Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative Pool\, administered by the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum. \n  \n  \n***Description from website

It will complement our flagship event in Lexington on Saturday\, November 1\, 2025. Here’s what makes the Louisville Edition unique: \n\nLocation: The Louisville Edition takes place in the vibrant Paristown\, offering a lively urban setting perfect for a summer festival. The Kentucky Book Festival will still happen this fall in Lexington.\nTiming: The Louisville Edition occurs in June. The Kentucky Book Festival will take place on Saturday\, November 1.\nFocus: The Louisville Edition offers a similar experience to the Lexington flagship festival\, but is tailored specifically for the Louisville community\, with programming and author features unique to the Louisville Edition.\nSmaller Scale with Big Impact: While the Kentucky Book Festival in Lexington draws thousands of attendees and features over 150 authors and illustrators\, the Louisville Edition focuses on creating an intimate and engaging environment with a curated selection of authors and illustrators.\n\nFounded as the Kentucky Book Fair by journalist Carl West in 1981\, the Kentucky Book Festival has long been dedicated to connecting writers and readers in meaningful ways. Originally held in Frankfort for more than 30 years\, West’s vision of a statewide celebration of books and authors continues to thrive. As the Kentucky Book Festival expanded and rebranded\, it became a beloved program of Kentucky Humanities. \nThis year\, we’re excited to bring the Kentucky Book Festival experience to Louisville with the Louisville Edition\, a vibrant new chapter in the festival’s legacy. While the Louisville Edition is a unique event\, it is fueled by the same passion for literature that Carl West established so many years ago. \nLearn more about the history of the Kentucky Book Festival.
