Join the MSC to celebrate Women's History Month and get a sneak peek at our upcoming exhibition, Collective Arising: The Insistence of Black Bay Area Artists. Special guest curator Lucia Momoh will be in conversation with artist Cheryl Derricotte who will be discussing her research on Mary Ellen Pleasant, a prominent black female entrepreneur who lived in San Francisco in the 19th century. Pleasant also owned property in Sonoma County and is buried in Napa. Cheryl's new work explores Pleasant's life, biography, and legacy in an original print and two books made during her residency at Paper Machine in New Orleans and new glass work created in the Bay Area.
