The Pauly Friedman Art Gallery at Misericordia University is presenting the acclaimed exhibition, “Women Artists: Four Centuries of Creativity,” featuring works on paper — etchings, engravings, lithographs, drawings, watercolors, woodblock prints, and photographs — by some of the most important women artists of the last four centuries.

The exhibit opens Saturday and runs through May 10.

“Women Artists: Four Centuries of Creativity” features 37 works from the Reading Public Museum’s permanent collection.

The show from the Reading museum chronicles the emergence of women as professionals in the field of art and records noteworthy creative contributions made over the centuries.

Scott Schweigert, exhibit curator from the Reading Museum, will offer a talk about the collection from 4-5:30 p.m. on Saturday in Dudrick Room 216 of Sandy and Marlene Insalaco Hall, followed by a public reception from 5:30-7 p.m. in the Friedman Art Gallery. Light refreshments will be served.

The spring hours for the Friedman Art Gallery are Tuesday through Thursday, noon-7 p.m., Friday noon-5 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, noon to 5 p.m., or by appointment.

The Friedman Gallery is closed on Mondays and for all University holidays.
