Interview with Jason Stieber, Director of the National Museum of Women in the Arts Library & Research Center
What better way to celebrate Women’s history month than by listening to our latest Bert Gallery podcast on the Clara Database of Women Artisits, launched by the National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA), located in Washington DC? Celebrating their twentieth anniversary, NMWA has a remarkable archives dedicated to documenting the achievements of women artists. Recently, they were gifted an important collection of letters by Frida Kahlo.
Recently, Catherine Bert interviewed Jason Stieber, the Director of the NMWA Archives, on the Clara Database, a unique interactive database containing authoritative information on 18,000 women visual artists of all time periods and nationalities. The information in Clara is drawn from the materials in NMWA’s extensive Archives on Women Artists.
Both the Clara Database and the Archives on Women Artists are works in progress. The NMWA is continually adding records for new artists and updating existing artist profiles.
