Celebrate 614 Day At This Awesome Food Truck Rally ๐ŸŒฎ๐Ÿš›

Barbara Shermund Exhibit

Sponsored by Decorative Arts Center of Ohio which is proud to present a Virtual Tour of Tell Me a Story Where the Bad Girl Wins: The Life & Art of Barbara Shermund. Starting in 1925, Shermund contributed nine covers and hundreds of cartoons to the New Yorker, and later became a celebrated mainstay at Esquire. Her cartoons had a fierce and feminist electricity rarely seen in that era of male-dominated cartooning. Learn more and take the tour right here! ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ
