51% #1725: The Creative World of Jan Brett

Provided
The exhibit "Jan Brett: Stories Near & Far" is on view at the Albany Institute of History & Art through December 31.

On this week’s 51%, we’re highlighting women in the arts. We tune into a webinar discussing the importance of protecting the spaces where women create, and we also sit down with children’s book writer and illustrator Jan Brett. Our Dr. Sharon Ufberg also speaks with eco-feminist artist Mira Lehr to look back on her career.
