Foxcroft: The Art of Women & the Sporting Life Exhibit at National Sporting Library & 博物馆至八月
An exciting Centennial event opens Saturday, 3月15日, at the National Sporting Library and Museum in Middleburg. Called "特学校: The Art of Women and the Sporting Life," this special exhibition has been put together by the museum staff in conjunction with our 百周年庆典. It focuses on Foxcroft women as sporting enthusiasts, sporting 艺术ists, and sporting 艺术 collectors. Comprised of loans from alumnae of the prestigious Middleburg college-preparatory school for girls and their relatives, approximately thirty paintings and sculptures develop a picture of the collecting interests of our alumnae and members of their families as well as their role in 20th Century sporting life and 艺术.
The exhibit runs through August 24, 2014. Special tours for Centennial attendees will be conducted on Friday, 4月25日, at 1:30, 下午两点和两点半. 博物馆, located at 102 The Plains Road, is open Wednesday-Saturday 10 am to 5 pm and Sunday 1 pm to 5 pm. 请访问NSL&M 网站 了解更多信息.

The opening of the exhibit coincides with Women's 历史 Month and the museum's 3月15日 "Side Saddle Symposium," which happens to include a presentation by Foxcroft trustee and past parent Penny Denegre. A champion side-saddle rider, Denegre is also featured in the Foxcroft exhibit, along with such other prominent women conservationist Gertrude Sanford Legendre, 福克斯克罗夫特1920届, and Cowgirl Hall of Fame member Helen Kleberg Groves '45, and alumnae relatives Phyllis Mills Wyeth, who owned 2012 Belmont Stakes champion Union Rags.
Also highlighted in the exhibit is the burgeoning success of female animal and sporting 艺术ists in the 20th century. Among the 艺术ists included are Jean Bowman, founder of the American Academy of Equine Artists; Heather St. Clair Davis; Eve Prime Fout, whose daughter Nina and granddaughter Caroline both graduated from Foxcroft; and Julia Jitkoff, 福克斯克罗夫特1965届毕业生. Additionally, works by other known 艺术ists such as N.C. Wyeth and Aiden Lassell Ripley depicting women in sporting pursuits collected by alumnae round out the exhibition.
