The NBMAA is excited to partner with The Hartford Dance Collective for a very special Artist in Residence Program inspired by the exhibition Modern Women: Visionary Artists and sponsored by the Art Bridges Foundation.

Every Saturday morning from January 2025 through May 2025, a choreographer from The Collective will lead a free movement workshop from 10:30-11:30 a.m. Be sure and register in advance online—these workshops fill up quickly! 

Each month will feature a different choreographer who will also perform a short original solo dance piece inspired by one of the works in the Modern Women exhibition. 

This partnership will culminate in a full-length dance performance, featuring five brand new creations of choreography by Jillian Cusano, Rosanna Karabetsos, Gabby Dominguez, Michelle Montano, and Emily Daly, inspired by the exhibition Modern Women: Visionary Artists.

Culminating Performance Dates:

Thursday, June 5, at 7 p.m. 

Saturday, June 7, at 2 p.m.
