About The Event

The Womens Council invites you to its annual members program for a preview of the upcoming blockbuster exhibition Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors and FRONT International: An American City. Opening July 7, Yayoi Kusama celebrates the 65-year career of the legendary Japanese artist through a survey of works ranging from her early paintings to her widely admired participatory installations. FRONT is a citywide contemporary art program that brings together international, national, and regional artists, curators, and scholars to engage with the city of Cleveland and the broader region of northeast Ohio; the program revolves around the history and current experiences of the city. Works by acclaimed contemporary artists such as Allen Ruppersberg, Kerry James Marshall, Marlon de Azambuja, and Luisa Lambri will be on view in different galleries at the museum throughout the summer. 

Free; ticket required. 

Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors is organized by the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC.
