Earlier today the Brooklyn Museum announced the honorees for the Trailblazers: Women in the Arts awards, an annual celebration of fearless women making an impact on arts, culture, and philanthropy.
Slated for October 20, this year’s event honorees include Sarah Arison, president of the Arison Arts Foundation; Ellen Gallagher, an American artist whose work has been shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions and is held in the permanent collections of many major museums; Miyoung Lee, a trustee of the Children’s Museum of Manhattan, the Grace Church School, and the Whitney Museum of American Art, and serves on the Acquisition Committees of the Brooklyn Museum and the Studio Museum in Harlem; Janet Mock, a New York Times best-selling author of Redefining Realness, host of MSNBC’s So POPular!; and Lowery Stokes Sims, retired curator emerita at the Museum of Arts and Design.
“We couldn’t think of more deserving people to honor with this year’s Women in the Arts awards, as they have forever changed the art landscape through their trailblazing devotion to the arts; from artists and curators to philanthropists and change agents, each one of them has demonstrated such vision and courage,” said Anne Pasternak, the Shelby White and Leon Levy Director of the Brooklyn Museum.
