 Websites presented in alphabetical order Brooklyn Museum: Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art 
 This center, opened in March 2007, "is an exhibition and education facility dedicated to feminist art." The centerpiece of the space is a "gallery devoted to 'The Dinner Party' (1974-9) by Judy Chicago; [and] a biographical gallery to present exhibitions highlighting the women represented in 'The Dinner Party.'" The site features images of items from permanent and temporary exhibits. Note: The site asks that the "Feminist Art Base" not be viewed by those under 18. http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/eascfa/about/ Topics: Art, Women Last updated Mar 28, 2007 Design by the Book
In "this online-only miniseries, ... the [New York Public] Library partnered with [a] leading design blog ... to invite five New York City-based artists to sift through our collections in search of inspiration. Watch as the artists, who range from a glassblower to a letterpress printer, create unique works inspired by what they found." From the New York Public Library (NYPL). http://www.nypl.org/research/chss/bythebook/ Topics: Art Last updated Feb 17, 2009 Exploring Themes in American Art
