One hundred years ago, in January 1920, Kentucky ratified the 19th Amendment that gave women the right to vote. Many of the leading suffragists were members of Christ Church Cathedral including Laura Clay, Madeleine McDowell Breckinridge, Jesse Hutchinson, and many others. The Cathedral's January exhibit will feature photographs and biographies of the Christ Church members involved in this long fight to guarantee the voting rights of women. Additionally, Christ Church member and artist Deborah Slone will curate an exhibit featuring the work of several women artists, including Lucy Hale (Ermine), Cheryl Walton (Lexington), Angelyn DeBord (Nichelsville, VA), Pam Oldfield Meade (West Liberty), Sally Warfield (Lexington) and Janet Serrenho (Lexington). The Gallery Hop reception will provide an opportunity to meet these artists.
The Cathedral will also have on display informative exhibits relating to the Suffrage movement by the Henry Clay Memorial Foundation, the Kentucky League of Women Voters and Lexington's Breaking the Bronze Ceiling Initiative.
As always, Gallery Hop is free and open to the public and features food and beverage. Music by Kristy & Al Beers.
