About The Event

Join us for a presentation on the fascinating history of the First Ladies and their distinct and influential use of fashion in crafting their public images. Dr. Rabinovitch-Fox will share examples of works in the Cleveland Museum of Art’s collection as she unpacks how the First Ladies’ appearances have been perceived through art and culture.
