The Susanna Dickinson Museum presents Under Our Lone Star Sky, a new exhibit that delves into the enduring challenges faced by women in Texas, past and present. You're invited to the after-hours grand opening of the exhibit on Thursday, February 13, from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. This event includes private tours, refreshments, and free admission.

Under Our Lone Star Sky provides a poignant exploration of issues such as struggles with homelessness, domestic violence, and systemic inequities while celebrating the resilience and strength of women throughout early Texas history as they strive for stability and belonging. This exhibit shows that many of today's struggles – economic pressures from expensive housing, jobs that pay poorly, limited institutional support – play out in various ways throughout history for Texas women.

This exhibit is made even more impactful through a collaboration with Art From the Streets, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting unhoused artists in Austin. Original print artwork created by local artists experiencing homelessness will be featured, providing a platform to showcase their talent and supporting their journey toward stability.

Under Our Lone Star Sky will be on display through June 2025. Admission is free. For more information, visit susannadickinsonmuseum.org.
