ARTISTE ITALIANE
Women Artists of Italian Heritage
Refreshments will be served
In honor of Women’s History Month, the Italian American Museum is pleased to present a selection of work by thirteen women artists of Italian heritage. These women are all accomplished artists having exhibited in galleries and museums both nationally and internationally. Each woman brings forth their artistic vision in painting, collage, sculpture, photography and graphic design. Their artwork reflects who they are and how they see the world. In doing so, we see a rich tapestry of imagery. Featured artists are: Matilde Alessandra, B. Amore, Maria Cocchiarelli, Janine Coyne, Daniella Day, Louise Fili, Irene Gennaro, Barbara Gerard, Nancy Macina, Michela Martello, Martina Secondo Russo, Assunta Sera and Annamarie Trombetta.

DEFORMED
My Remarkable Life
Book presentation by Valerie Pepe
Light refreshments will be served
The third child to Emma and Eugene Pepe, Valerie was deformed at birth, the joints in her lower body out of their sockets. The rare condition was called AMC (Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita) and many doctors had never seen anyone who had it. Her parents and extended Italian-American family mobilized. Valerie would have the best medical care and as normal a life as possible. Her life has been more than normal, it has been remarkable. In her strong, down-to-earth voice, Valerie tells a life-affirming story of achievement, love, medical challenge, spunk, personal emancipation, and devotion to helping others afflicted with AMC.

DIFFERENT DRUMMER
Book presentation by Catherine Gigante-Brown
Refreshments will be served
Set in 1979 New York City, Different Drummer chronicles the life and times of Cara Funk (nee Carol Finkelstein), a tragically pretty, talented but eternally-angry female drummer struggling to break out of the wedding music trade and succeed as a rock musician. Rapidly approaching 30, this is Cara's self-imposed last chance and she's willing to sacrifice everything to “make it”.
