Printmaking, Beading, and Weaving: A New Program Celebrates Women Artists of East Hampton

In 2023, the East Hampton Historical Society, which operates what is formally known as the Thomas and Mary Nimmo Moran Studio, used a a Dorothy C. Radgowski Learning Through Women’s Achievement in the Arts grant from the National Trust to design and implement a hands-on, interdisciplinary, place-based program called “Artistic Identities: Using STEAM, History, and Artmaking to Understand Gender, Race, and Class.” Inspired by the recent restoration of the Fowler home, an Indigenous Montaukett family, Steve Long, executive director of the East Hampton Historical Society, says the organization viewed the grant as “an opportunity to connect the creativity that Mary Nimmo Moran was expressing with the creativity the women of the Fowler family were expressing.”
