“Some Kind of Trouble: Women and Country Music,” AMA Art Talk with Dr. Brian Wright
Date and Time for this Past Event
- Saturday, Sep 23, 2023 6pm - 7pm
Details
A specialist in the history of American popular music, Dr. Brian F. Wright of UNT joins the Arlington Museum of Art for the next Articulate Art Talk series event inspired by the museum's current exhibit, Girl in a Country Song: Women of Country Music.
DESCRIPTION
From Patsy Cline to Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton to Reba McEntire, Shania Twain to LeAnn Rimes, Miranda Lambert to Maren Morris, so many of country music’s most successful and iconic artists are women. Their achievements, however, have often come in spite of the country music establishment, which has deliberately limited women’s national exposure and has attempted to control the perspectives that their music is allowed to express. In dialogue with the exhibits “Girl in a Country Song” and “Hometown Harmonies,” this talk celebrates the history of women in country music while also detailing some of the many challenges they have faced from within the country music industry.
TICKETS
Although this event is free, pre-registration is required because space is limited. No walk-ins, please! Tickets are available through the Arlington Museum of Art website.
