- Registration/RSVP
Twentieth-century Mexican artist Frida Kahlo continues to fascinate us with her arresting gaze, signature fashion, and trailblazing legacy. At the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VMFA), this singular artist and her extraordinary works are the focus of Frida: Beyond the Myth.
Join W&M alumni at the VMFA for a private guided tour examining Frida Kahlo’s paintings, drawings, prints, and photographs as we explore how she painted to transcend pain and physical disability. Also, celebrate how Kahlo ultimately triumphed to achieve her own immortality, becoming a national treasure in her native Mexico and receiving posthumous acclaim around the world. Her jewel-like paintings are among the most beautiful, memorable, and haunting images of the 20th century.
For those interested in having lunch together before the tour, meet at noon in the VMFA’s Best Café for a pay-as-you-go meal. Or, just join us for the 1:00 p.m. tour. This event costs $16 to attend for non-VMFA members and is free for VMFA members. The W&M Alumni Association is subsidizing the cost of this event for all attendees.
Please register by April 3, 2025.
