A scene from last night's "A Celebration of Women in the Art World" at Cowley Abbott, with panelists Lydia Abbott, Shelli Cassidy-McIntosh (Olga Korper Gallery), Kathryn Minard (Art Advisory), & Joyce Zemans (York University). Went with some of my undergrad interns—a fabulous experience for all! ☺️
