New Group: Join us for our first Barnard College & Women of Columbia outing. We are a sub group of the Columbia University Club of Chicago, with a mission to bring women together in friendship, for thought-provoking events. Only women are invited to this event.

Join host Anne Moore, Club President, for a viewing of "Emma Stebbins: Carving Out History" at the Driehaus Museum. The event includes a tour of the museum. Emma Stebbins is an American sculptor (1815-1882) best known for “Angel of the Waters” at Bethesda Fountain (1863). With that, Stebbins became the first woman to win a commission for a public sculpture from the City of New York. Stebbins worked in Rome (1857 -1870) creating marble and bronze sculptures in the company of other artists. Stebbins was married to Shakespearean actress Charlotte Cushman; a bust of her by Stebbins is included in this exhibition. Curators say Stebbins “reimagined what a woman’s life could be.” Learn more about the exhibit.
